Mayor Phil Fisher and the Board of Aldermen joined Mississippi College representatives during a groundbreaking ceremony for the 54-acre mixed-use development, christened “Rising Spring”, that will transform the physical and economic landscape near the private institution in Clinton.

Rising Spring will be situated along Interstate 20 and US Highway 80 in Clinton and is the first easily accessible service location for hospitality on the eastbound I-20 corridor. The development will be constructed in two main phases, with a possibility of future phases to follow. Construction will begin in 2025 with anticipated completion of early-stage buildings in 2026.

Phase One, called Rising Spring Village, will be built near one of Clinton’s historic springs and will feature a boutique hotel, numerous dining options from prominent Mississippi restaurateurs, mixed-use spaces, a primary care clinic, and a grassy amphitheater near a water feature.

Phase Two, called Rising Spring Market, will draw inspiration from The Silos at Magnolia Market in Waco, Texas, and will showcase Mississippi-made offerings, additional shopping and dining opportunities, and mixed-use construction.

The development will create a retail and living space unlike any other in the state that will attract retailers, restauranteurs, grocers, bankers, and hoteliers across the Southeast. “We’re excited to see this transformative development take shape,” said Mayor Fisher. “The significant investment by MC and job creation by these partners will enhance Clinton and further our reputation as a shopping and dining destination. We can’t wait for the finished product.”
