(Natchez, MS – August 11, 2021) Delta Fuel Company, LLC. announces today that it is relocating its corporate headquarters to downtown Natchez. An investment of $2.75 million, and creating 54 new Mississippi jobs, Delta Fuel will continue its commitment to growing its business in the Adams County/Concordia Parish Region.
Serving the Mississippi and Louisiana markets, as well as 26 states throughout the U.S., Delta Fuel is a licensed distributor of propane, gas, diesel, and lubricants for a variety of industries, including agriculture, construction, energy and residential. Delta Fuel is locating its corporate headquarters at 521 Main Street, with future plans to expand to the former Callon Petroleum building in downtown Natchez.
“Natchez is an ideal location for Delta Fuel’s corporate headquarters, providing quick access to the markets the company serves, as well as access to a talented pipeline of dedicated workers. I am proud to welcome Delta Fuel as the newest business partner to our great state and have no doubt the company’s new employees in Adams County will work hard to continue its legacy of success.” – Gov.
