Economic Development

A superb location, a labor force with a strong work ethic, an unmatched transportation system, and a community that offers full amenities all combine to make Jackson the perfect location for industry.

"It was largely because of the efforts and vision of the leadership of the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce that Gerdau Ameristeel located our steel mill in Jackson 28 years ago. They helped the leadership of our company to see all of the advantages for selecting Jackson, and we have been pleased beyond expectations ever since."
