Medical Towers at Tuscan Court was founded on a local commitment to attract economic growth, create new jobs, and improve and expand medical services available to the citizens of Magee, Mississippi and surrounding areas. The facility provides access to a wide range of essential and specialized medical services without the need to travel to larger facilities many
miles away. In addition, the project created at least 45 new full-time jobs and attracted a broader base of skilled, specialized health care professionals. The Central Mississippi Planning and Development District worked closely with the city to find innovative ways to fund drainage and access improvements to the site.
