Mississippi Construction News

Mississippi construction runs from the Gulf Coast to the Delta, and the conditions change along the way. On the coast, Biloxi, Gulfport and Pascagoula build to hurricane wind and storm surge standards, and shipbuilding and port work anchor the economy. Around Jackson, the expansive Yazoo clay is a well-known foundation challenge. In the north, DeSoto County grows alongside the Memphis metro, while the Delta's agriculture and the Mississippi River shape work in the west. The Mississippi State Board of Contractors oversees licensing for commercial and residential contractors. Because hot, humid summers and heavy rain are the norm, moisture control, drainage and storm resilience matter on almost every project in the state.
