With the help of the Chamber of Commerce in Clarksdale, and the state of Mississippi, High Time Acquisitions, LLC. was able to leverage the states' opportunity zone status within the city and move the manufacturing operations of Bump Stopper^® and its family of products from Reno, Nevada to Clarksdale.
