A WELCOME FROM THE MAYOR FLOWOOD
I’m Kathy Smith, Mayor of Flowood, and I’m excited to welcome you to our city.
Flowood is one of the fastest-growing communities in Mississippi—conveniently located just east of Jackson with easy access to I-55, I-20, and the Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport. Lakeland Drive is the hub of our city, filled with shops, restaurants, medical centers, and businesses that make Flowood a true destination.
With top-rated public and private schools, safe neighborhoods, and incredible parks and recreation, Flowood is the perfect place to call home. From the award-winning Refuge Golf Course and Resort to the state’s largest pickleball complex, miles of trails, and family-friendly green spaces, there’s something here for everyone.
We’re proud of our low crime rate, strong public safety, and one of the lowest tax rates in Mississippi. Flowood is business-friendly, family-focused, and built for growth.
Whether you’re visiting, starting a business, or putting down roots—you’ll find Flowood is a community where opportunity and quality of life go hand in hand.
Welcome to Flowood—where families grow and businesses thrive.
Kathy Smith, Mayor
