Connect with Our Community
Laurel Main Street
Since its inception in 2007, Laurel Main Street has championed the growth and sustainability of The City Beautiful’s downtown presence. Founded by a group of local community and business leaders (you probably would recognize a few of them) with the love and creativity to see the true potential of what the downtown area could be. Their grassroots efforts over the past 15 years have resulted in some of the local community’s most prideful projects – murals, street string lighting, countless family-friendly events, and the Trustmark Art Park, to name just a few.
Jones County Chamber of Commerce
The Jones County Chamber and Economic Development Authority promotes the creation and retention of jobs in Jones County. Whether you're looking to relocate your business or expand an existing business, they provide invaluable resources to support the continued growth of our community.
