Claiborne County’s vast array of cultural, historical, outdoor and business assets were featured at the Mississippi Economic Council’s Annual Conference on April 12, 2012 in Jackson, MS. Milton Chambliss, Executive Director, Claiborne County Economic Development District participated in a panel presentation where CCEDD’s new website ClaiborneWorks was introduced to approximately 2000 attendees representing the business sector from across Mississippi. Port Gibson Main Street, Inc., Mississippi Cultural Crossroads, the Port of Claiborne County, Civil War Tourism, Windsor Ruins, the Depot, and even Prolon (United States Dinnerware) were featured during the presentation. All these assets contribute to making Claiborne County a strong competitor in Mississippi’s growing Creative Economy market place.
