Build In SE casts a spotlight on Oxford, MS
With a remarkable 102 percent increase since 2000, it ranks among the fastest-growing college towns in America.
The team at Build In SE has followed up on its focus on Nashville (see article here) with one on Oxford, MS.
The spotlight, which can be found here, starts with this note: “While many people know Oxford for its legendary tailgating traditions at Ole Miss, where fans gather in The Grove to support the Rebels, this town offers so much more. Renowned as the ‘Cultural Mecca of the South’ and the hometown of literary icon William Faulkner, Oxford combines Southern hospitality with rich creativity and historic charm. The picturesque square, lined with magnolia and oak trees, features boutique shops, art galleries, and unique restaurants, each contributing to its timeless southern charm.”
The article continues, noting that “Oxford is emerging as a dynamic hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, particularly in the startup sector. With a remarkable 102 percent increase since 2000, it ranks among the fastest-growing college towns in America. The University of Mississippi plays a pivotal role in this development through its Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE). The CIE supports the creation of innovative businesses through educational programs and competitions, having established over 65 student ventures and awarded $357,300 in cash prizes.”
