JACKSON, Miss. – Secretary of State Michael Watson is proud to announce the agency's newest resource "Move to Mississippi" on the Y'all Business website.

Aimed at the growing number of nonresidents interested in relocating to the Hospitality State, the Move to Mississippi webpage offers a wide variety of information and data for all 82 counties and most municipalities in the state regarding education, real estate, entertainment, and dining, among others.

"I'm extremely excited about this new resource available to those looking to return home to Mississippi or settle roots for the first time. Having a comprehensive site detailing so many important factors when considering a move allows folks to easily, yet thoroughly, do their research on any area of the state. We have worked, and will continue, to ensure Mississippi is the greatest state in which to live and do business," said Secretary Michael Watson.

The Move to Mississippi page can be utilized in two ways. The first option is to use the search bar to select any business, industry, category, or area of the state featured on Y'all Business. The map will populate with the selected information.

The second option is to select one of the nine featured categories or industries and the map will automatically populate with the pertinent information. The site's featured categories include Mississippi's education, entertainment, people, home builders, employment, real estate, religious organizations, outdoor recreation, and traffic count.
