When County Supervisor Lee Caldwell first moved to DeSoto County in 1987, she watched a small little wooden cabin on Highway 51 North just past Star Land Road on what used to be the Hull Dobbs Landfair Ranch deteriorate. She could't help thinking how the land once provided a living to so many people. Twenty-five years later, the land where that cabin once stood has been reborn and is now home to a $45 million, 1.2 million square foot Medline distribution center employing over 350 residents in DeSoto County.
