There are some business and job opportunities coming to the city of Ridgeland.Mayor Gene McGee said the Southern Beverage Company’s distribution facility that’s coming to the city will bring several hundred jobs to the area. The company has five other distribution centers throughout Central Mississippi.McGee said he looks forward to seeing how this expansion increases employment and adds an investment to the city."We're excited that they're bringing in about 200 jobs, and they're high-paying jobs, which means that’s good for our economy," McGee said. "Those people will come look for housing, they'll also be shopping in our shopping centers, eating in our restaurants -- so all of that helps with our economy. It's just a first-class situation that we're excited about."McGee also said the new UPS distribution center on Highland Colony Business Park, and several businesses on County Line Road are projected to come within the next few months.
