Olive Branch named Mississippi "Welcome Home" certified retirement community, mayor says
Summary
Mayor Kenneth R. Adams announced Olive Branch was named one of 13 certified retirement communities under the Mississippi Welcome Home program, citing a press release from the Mississippi Development Authority.
Mayor Kenneth R. Adams told the board that Olive Branch was named one of Mississippi's certified retirement communities under the Mississippi Welcome Home program, a designation announced in a midday press release from the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA).
The mayor read the MDA's statement that said Olive Branch offers "top quality amenities and convenient access to world-class cultural opportunities" and an affordable cost of living attractive to retirees. The city was one of 13 municipalities selected statewide, the mayor said.
The mayor thanked staff for hosting the MDA visit and said the designation is an "honor" the city will highlight in future communications. The board did not take formal action on the announcement; it was offered as a mayoral update during the meeting's opening remarks.
