The University of Southern Mississippi Business Assistance
Center (BAC), along with the Hattiesburg Historic Downtown
Association, Donnell and Company and Hancock Bank, is
presenting a Gulf Opportunities Zone (GO Zone) community
education program on Thursday, March 2. The seminar will
be held from 7:30 - 9 a.m. at the Hattiesburg Cultural
Center, located at 723 Main St.
Tom
Peyton, a certified public accountant with Donnell and

The Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005 is a federal legislation

incentives to areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita,
and Wilma that were designated as warranting assistance.
This
program is open to the public. For more information or

Center at 601.544.5682.
A
fundamental goal of Southern Miss’ Business Assistance
