As of this writing, I am attending the Mississippi Municipal League’s Mid-Winter Legislative Conference “Local Leaders, Lasting Impact” in Jackson. This legislative conference brings municipal officials from across the state who will be hearing from state leaders at MML’s Capitol Day during the conference and planning for the future. I’m reminded of how important tourism is for our area and this state. Growing up here in Carroll County, I have always been aware of the abundance of history that our area has to offer; that goes from the landmarks to the stories behind them.
