From the
Mayor
As the mayor and lifelong resident of Pearl, I would like to welcome you and thank you for choosing our city! You are part of
a diverse, 27,000-member family in the largest city in Rankin County. These are exciting times as Pearl is growing at a rapid pace
both residentially and commercially.
You will see, Pearl is a great place to “Live, Work and Play.” We have a wide range of housing, with new construction going up
all over town. We are a hard-working, business-friendly community with diverse employment opportunities from retail to dining,
hotels and manufacturing, along with Hinds Community College and state offices, like MEMA, the State Fire Academy, MDEQ
and the State Crime Lab.
We are proud to be our own prestigiously “A” rated school district. We are Pirates and the home of champions in both the
classrooms and extracurricular activities.
We work hard every day to be one of the safest cities in the state. We provide first-class service at every level from police and fire,
to public works, parks and recreation, senior services and community development.
We tirelessly promote our city and keep you in the know with our municipal television and radio stations.
We are a great place to play as we welcome thousands of visitors with our new state-of-the-art ballparks and beautiful nature
parks to spend a day. In addition, we have tremendous shopping opportunities all over the city including the Riverwind district: home
to Bass Pro Shop, Sam’s, The Outlets of Mississippi, The Cinemark Movie theater, restaurants, and hotels. The Mississippi Braves,
the AA franchise of the mighty Atlanta Braves have drawn more than three million fans to Trustmark Park since 2005 and have won
two league championships.
We have and always will put our people first.
We are Pearl.
Sincerely,
Mayor Jake Windham
City of Pearl
