The city also boasts a unique partnership with OBAP (Organization of Black Aeronautical Pilots) and the Luke Weathers Flight Academy, which traces its roots back to the Flying Tigers. This organization, run by Captain Albert Glenn and his son Albert Glenn Jr., actively trains underserved and underprivileged children to become future pilots, creating a crucial pipeline into the aviation sector. With all of these things considered, Olive Branch’s future is exceptionally bright. Fueled by its massive annexation and forthcoming announcements of even more leading enterprises choosing to locate there, Olive Branch expects to become the largest city in DeSoto County within the next four to five years. With the recent implementation of a 1% hotel and motel tourism tax and the state legislature’s ongoing reduction of income tax, Olive Branch anticipates an open floodgate for businesses across Mississippi. Olive Branch’s strategic game plan clearly resonates with both residents and businesses, and the city’s reality aligns perfectly with its motto: “to be one of the best cities in the state for a person to live, work, worship, and play.” 10 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 07
