Tupelo MS: Hyperion Expands Tupelo Operations with Assistance from City, State

 120619

Posted December 06, 2019

TUPELO • Hyperion Technology Group is set to move into its new location on Commerce Street within the next few weeks to expand its business operations. The move comes after a state agency officially approved a request for city leaders to borrow money to purchase the building the business will move into.

The Tupelo City Council on Tuesday voted to accept an agreement to borrow $1.5 million in a capital improvements loan from the Mississippi Development Authority, the state’s economic development agency, to purchase the former Mitchell Distributing warehouse on Commerce Street.

The city has formed a lease agreement with Hyperion and will allow the company to rent the building over several years. Hyperion will now pay the city around $12,000 per month over the course of 180 months, according to the lease agreement adopted by the city and the company.
“We’re very appreciative that the city went to bat for us and was willing to get the loan and make this expansion happen,” Hyperion President Geoff Carter said. “We probably could have done it without the city, but working with the city and knowing we had the support of the city made it a lot easier.”

The move is part of an expansion for the company, where the technology group is expected to hire at least 20 new employees initially and possibly hire 20 more new employees once the company gets settled in its new location.

“We’re in a very rapid growth mode right now,” Carter said. “We desperately need the space to keep growing.”
