Silo Square Adds to Southaven Growth
In the midst of exploding growth over the past several years, the city of Southaven left out a component that many older cities actively cling to: a town square or central business district and hub you will find in more-established communities like Oxford or Hernando.
Southaven is about to get that component with the future addition of Silo Square, where groundbreaking Tuesday attracted city and business leaders, including Mississippi Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann.
The commercial and residential development will, when completed, become a “game changer” for the state’s third-largest city, as described by Mayor Darren Musselwhite in remarks before the official groundbreaking took place.
