Summary
The DeSoto County Board approved personal‑property expansion incentives for several companies — Williams‑Sonoma Retail Services and Direct, DMC Power and McKesson — covering expansions totaling more than $33 million in assessed value across the listed years; all motions passed with Supervisor Lee Caldwell absent.
The DeSoto County Board of Supervisors on June 1 approved a package of personal‑property expansion incentives for local employers, including multiple Williams‑Sonoma entities, DMC Power and McKesson.
Supervisor Jessie Medlin moved to approve the Williams‑Sonoma Retail Services expansions (2024: $3,442,070.31; 2025: $5,092,182.45) and the Williams‑Sonoma Direct expansions (2024: $6,392,054.97; 2025: $6,934,387.26). The Board later approved a five‑year personal‑property expansion for DMC Power valued at $9,648,959.46 and a McKesson Corporation expansion of $2,580,142.11. Each motion passed by recorded roll call with Supervisor Lee Caldwell absent.
The approvals set the effective terms shown in the agenda packet (for example, Williams‑Sonoma Retail Services 2024 effective 01/01/2026–12/31/2029). The actions authorize county staff to record the expansions and apply the related personal‑property treatment for the listed effective periods. The board did not attach additional conditions beyond those in the presented agreements.
