About Jones County (MS)

Jones County, centered on Laurel and Ellisville in southeast Mississippi, has one of the state’s more historically rooted manufacturing communities, shaped by its long association with timber, rail transportation, and regional trade across the Pine Belt. Manufacturing activity in the county remains closely tied to forest-products processing—lumber, plywood, engineered wood, and related materials—supported by the surrounding pine-rich landscape and a workforce experienced in wood and materials production. Major employers such as Howard Industries in Laurel, a large U.S. manufacturer of distribution transformers and electrical equipment, anchor a substantial heavy-industrial presence that extends the county’s base beyond traditional timber into electrical manufacturing and metal fabrication. Around this core, smaller firms produce pallets, treated wood, millwork, and building components that feed construction markets across Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama.

BMSS Advisors & CPAs serves the needs of manufacturing companies across the region including in Jones County (MS), Gulfport (MS), Hinds County (MS), Jackson (MS), Jackson County (MS), Lauderdale County (MS), Lee County (MS), Madison County (MS), Pontotoc County (MS),  Scott County (MS), South Haven (MS), Etowah County (AL), Florence (AL), Gadsden (AL),  Huntsville (AL), Jefferson County (AL) ,Mobile (AL), Montgomery (AL), and Tuscaloosa (AL).
