Simpson County Target Industry Analysis
As their capstone project, Sean Moody and Venkatesh Kaza conducted a target industry study for Simpson County, Mississippi. They utilized the Clemson University Regional Economic Development Research Laboratory (REDRL) approach and additional analysis of industry publications, including LexusNexus and IBISWorld. This analysis indicates that Simpson County should target industries related to Natural Gas Distribution, Light Truck and Utility Vehicle Manufacturing, Freight Transportation Arrangement. In order to attract these industries to the region, the students recommended that Simpson County Development Foundation reach out to related industry associations, organizations, and site selectors, form a regional partnership with neighboring economic development organizations, establish connections with university and higher education institutions, collaborate with youth and young professionals within the community, and solicit input on future economic development initiatives and strategies from the community.
