Another win for manufacturing in Mississippi! NPL Construction is locating fabrication and manufacturing operations in Greenwood, creating more than 40 new jobs and investing more than $1.9 million in Leflore County. The utility and energy infrastructure company will lease a 70,000-square-foot facility to support fabrication and manufacturing activities tied primarily to utility-related products. Projects like this continue to strengthen Mississippi’s manufacturing base while creating new opportunities for Mississippians. Read more: bit.ly/4fwO6Lw @CenturiHoldings

Two weeks from now, business leaders and government officials from across the Southeast U.S. and Canada will come together to explore new opportunities for trade, investment and collaboration. The SEUS-CP Conference is where relationships are built, ideas are exchanged and partnerships take shape across industries like Advanced Energy, Life Sciences and Mobility. Mississippi is proud to be part of this long-standing alliance and the conversations that continue to strengthen economic ties across borders. We look forward to connecting with companies, partners and innovators in Greenville, South Carolina. See you at SEUS-CP!

Great conversations. Valuable insights. Strong partnerships. From improving how communities tell their story online to turning shortlist opportunities into project wins and understanding the trends shaping economic development, this year's MEDC Conference delivered ideas that will help move Mississippi forward.

One of the first questions companies ask is simple: "How quickly can we get moving?" The answer often comes down to site readiness. In Mississippi, communities have spent years preparing sites, investing in infrastructure and doing the upfront work that companies need before making a decision. That means fewer unknowns and more confidence when it comes time to evaluate a location. Take a look at the sites and buildings available across Mississippi and see what's already in place. mississippi.giswebtechguru.c…

We’re releasing a strategy to build out a new critical minerals industry in Mississippi. It aligns with President @realDonaldTrump’s Energy Dominance agenda, and it will help strengthen America’s economy, energy independence, and national security. I’m excited about the opportunities this new industry can create for Mississippi and America.

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage and sacrifice helped protect the freedoms and opportunities we value every day. As Mississippians gather with family and loved ones this Memorial Day, we remember those who gave so much in service to others and reflect on the enduring meaning of this day. We honor their legacy with gratitude and respect.

Featured Site: Eagle One Mega Site More than a mega site. A future industrial ecosystem. Eagle One Mega Site offers more than 2,200 acres in the heart of Greater Hattiesburg. The site provides direct interstate access, Norfolk Southern rail connectivity and proximity to five Gulf ports. Utilities are in place, comprehensive due diligence is complete and more than 1,000 acres are already being cleared and graded to accelerate development timelines. This site was designed for transformational employers looking for long-term growth and workforce access. Greater Hattiesburg is quickly becoming one of the South’s strongest young talent markets. Two universities, advanced workforce training programs and a growing innovation economy continue to attract students and young professionals to the region. Hattiesburg also delivers the lifestyle today’s workforce wants. Employees enjoy a vibrant downtown, local restaurants and music venues, outdoor recreation along the 40 mile Longleaf Trace and a cost of living well below the national average. The vision for Eagle One extends beyond industrial development. Plans include approximately 500 acres of preserved natural space with trails and recreation areas integrated throughout the site. Combined with renewable energy initiatives and carbon-free energy opportunities, Eagle One reflects a forward-looking approach to industrial growth. Explore this site: tiny.giswebtechguru.com/bdxj…

If you look to the future, there are going to be two kinds of states: 1. Those that can provide the energy and power needed to fuel major projects. 2. Those that will lose. Mississippi will not lose.
