Well, it doesn't help that Starkville/ Oktibbeha County are never considered for large financial operation like Toyota or fighting for new large projects looking to expand or move their operation!
The University needs to take the lead in getting those higher paying developments and expanding retail and manufacturing development since the County and the City doesn't have the leadership in place to lead the charge!
