Doing business in Charleston
Charleston’s history is tied to river commerce and some of the most productive farmland in the region, and farming still shapes the local economy, from equipment dealers to ag services. Southeast Correctional Center, opened in 2001, draws staff from several counties, and the Mississippi County Port Authority’s port, just below the Ohio confluence, bills itself as the farthest-north ice-free port on the Mississippi.
The “Flower of the Bootheel” is known for its Dogwood-Azalea Festival each April, when more than 200 historic homes and their gardens draw visitors. With I-57 running through town and Cairo about 16 miles away, a Charleston business can reach both local customers and people passing through, as long as its Google profile and website make it easy to find.
