Huntington Bank To Invest Over $40 Million in Tupelo
Oct 7, 2026 - MS Business Journal
Today, the Huntington National Bank ("Huntington") announced an investment of more than $40 million to modernize its downtown Tupelo Regional Headquarters and Tupelo Operations Center, the anchor investment of the new Huntington Bank Business Park. The investment will enhance the colleague and customer experience while reinforcing Huntington’s long-term commitment to Tupelo and North Mississippi. The project also furthers Tupelo’s role as a key center for Huntington’s operations and customer support across its expanded footprint.
"This more than $40 million investment sends a clear message: Huntington is committed to Tupelo, to Mississippi and to the people who make this community strong," said Joseph Moss, Mississippi Regional President for Huntington. "Our colleagues serve customers, support businesses and help communities grow every day. We are investing in the places where that work happens and where our customers and clients connect with our teams. Tupelo has a proud history in financial services, and Huntington will build on that foundation with the scale, capabilities and local commitment to serve this region well into the future."
The project will modernize both the Tupelo Operations Center and downtown Tupelo Regional Headquarters with updated workspaces. Productivity and lifestyle enhancements at the Operations Center include a new fitness center, updated health center and on-site café, while renovations to the downtown location will feature a modernized branch, a community meeting space and expanded parking.
Huntington plans to designate its Tupelo Operations Center and the adjacent buildings as the
Huntington Bank Business Park. As an anchor investor in the park, Huntington can help attract
additional investment and support growth, development and job creation across the broader
business corridor.
“Huntington’s investment reflects strong confidence in Tupelo, our workforce and our future,”
said Tupelo Mayor Todd Jordan. “The vision for the Huntington Bank Business Park creates
opportunities for future growth and investment and reinforces Tupelo’s position as a place
where businesses can invest, grow and succeed. Huntington is leading the way, and we look
forward to the opportunities this investment may create for others to come alongside
Huntington and invest in the future of our community.”"Huntington's investment makes a powerful statement about Tupelo's future and the strength
of our business community," said David Rumbarger, President and CEO of the Community
Development Foundation. "This commitment supports long-term economic growth,
modernizes important local spaces and reinforces Tupelo and Lee County as places where
major employers can invest, grow and thrive. We appreciate Huntington's confidence in our
community, and we look forward to seeing the impact of this project in the years ahead."
Work on the project is underway, with renovations expected to continue in phases through
mid-2027. The investment reflects Huntington’s confidence in Tupelo and North Mississippi
and its commitment to supporting the region’s continued growth.
