Lt. Gov. hopes to see major business development in East Mississippi
SUMMARY: In January, Governor Reeves announced a $1.9 billion EV battery factory in Marshall County and a $10 billion Amazon Web Services project in Madison County. These investments total nearly $20 billion for the community. Residents of Meridian and Lauderdale County hope for similar developments. Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann supports this, highlighting Mississippi's appealing environment and collaborative efforts among the legislature, governor, MDA, and local developers, which helped attract these projects. However, Hosemann emphasized the need for an educated workforce, an area where the state aims to improve through workforce development initiatives.

SUMMARY: The Department of Public Safety (DPS) is planning to move from its current building on Woodrow Wilson, which has severe foundation issues, asbestos problems, and gas leaks, to a new site in Pearl. The existing headquarters, built in 1976, needs to be demolished, and the land may be sold for redevelopment. The new DPS site will consolidate all divisions under one roof for the first time, with costs now between $65 and $70 million. The timeline for the new building's completion has shifted to late summer or early fall of 2025. The state is considering commercial development for the vacated site.

SUMMARY: If traveling across Mississippi this weekend, expect increased police presence and checkpoints. A popular attraction visited the National Park in Vicksburg: Douglas Baum and his family's camels, sharing the story of ‘Old Douglas,' the only camel to die in the Civil War. July 4th marked the siege of Vicksburg's end, where ‘Old Douglas' served the 43rd Mississippi Infantry by carrying their regimental band. The reenactment aims to engage young people in history. Portraying ‘Old Douglas' are 12-year-old Jadid and 15-month-old Saubr, appearing at the Vicksburg National Military Park on Saturday and Sunday at 9 a.m.
