The Domestic Abuse Family Shelter in Laurel, which has served 11 counties for 40 years, reports being at capacity, with 30-40 residents, primarily children.

SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves announced a $110 million investment in site development projects in Mississippi, including a $50,000 grant for Lamar County’s industrial park, matched by $25,000 from the county and another $25,000 from Cooperative Energy. The park is one of three “ready sites” in the state, designed for rapid development, with plans for a 52-acre site that requires geotechnical work and clearing. This investment aims to attract light manufacturing and distribution centers, ultimately increasing jobs and the county’s tax base, reflecting a commitment to future economic growth in Mississippi.
