The other side of the DeSoto County tax base
Olive Branch shares a county, a tax base, a water table and an industrial corridor with Southaven — where an ad valorem tax agreement abating two thirds of property tax on a recital of twenty new jobs is already published in full on this Foundation's Mississippi chapter. The same agreements, the same aquifer and the same board structure exist here, and no one has asked for them.
Ad valorem tax exemption agreements approved by the Board of Aldermen, and the City's water-well permits and monthly pumpage reports.
This chapter is new, and says so
Nothing on this site is an allegation. What is here on day one is the infrastructure a resident needs in order to ask: the statute, the deadline, the custodian, the meeting archive, and every official portal in one place. The findings come from the records, and the records have to be asked for first.

What is stale
A public dashboard of when each automated pull last succeeded. If the archive is behind, this page says so rather than letting the site quietly rot.
Why Olive Branch
Olive Branch shares a county, a tax base, a water table and an industrial corridor with Southaven — where an ad valorem tax agreement abating two thirds of property tax on a recital of twenty new jobs is already published in full on this Foundation's Mississippi chapter. The same agreements, the same aquifer and the same board structure exist here, and no one has asked for them.
The Move Weight Foundation's first chapter is a town of thirteen thousand people in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, and it now holds 522 archived meetings with machine transcripts. The second is San Angelo, Texas. The third is Southaven, Mississippi, where the City's own released documents show an ad valorem agreement abating two thirds of property tax on a recital of twenty new jobs. None of those started with a tip. They started with somebody reading the agenda.
