Mississippi is investing nearly $17 million to further develop industrial sites throughout the state. These long-term investments will help prepare shovel-ready sites for companies to build or expand their operations here. This will be vital to creating new and higher-paying jobs for our local communities.

I was honored to be endorsed today by the Gulf Coast Business Council! The Coast is a huge economic driver for Mississippi, and the member companies of this group are a big reason for that. We’ve created an economic environment where businesses want to invest capital and create jobs, and the result is a growing economy and a stronger, more prosperous Mississippi Gulf Coast.
