N. L. Carson Construction Inc.

"I have been in business in Leake County since 1972.  My business has grown from a home office with two employees to an office building, shop building and yard with about 70 employees.  As a member and past president of both the Leake County Chamber of Commerce and the Leake County Industrial Development Association, I have seen first hand the county’s commitment to business.  The people of this county are receptive and eager to have new businesses move into the area."

"Locating in Leake County was easy.  The Leake IDA was like extra staff.  When we were starting up our warehouse operations in Carthage they helped locate labor, called the phone, power and water companies.  In the aftermath of Katrina their influence was indispensable."

“Owning a business in Carthage these last 10 years has been very rewarding.  Not only do we have a loyal repeat customer base, but also we have become a destination store for all the surrounding counties in Central Mississippi.”

The Health Club, LLC

"As a young boy, I dreamed of opening a health club in my hometown of Carthage.   As I grew older, the desire never left; in fact, it grew stronger.  I began building this desire by stepping out on faith and opening the The Health Club in February of 2002. In August of 2004, we moved into our new 10,000 square foot facility.  Our  full service health club reaches out to all types of people, from adolescents to senior adults, with a wide variety of exercise equipment, personal training, various types of exercise classes and a great family atmosphere. The people of Leake County and the surrounding area have been extremely supportive of our effort and continue to do so in all our endeavors."
