SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Governor Tate Reeves has authorized a significant investment by Amazon Web Services (AWS), involving $10 billion for constructing two data centers in Madison County. The state is committing $44 million for infrastructure, with a $215.1 million loan to the county to support the project, set to be completed by 2027. It’s expected to create 1,000 jobs, with most positions offering a $70,000 annual salary. AWS also plans to enhance local STEAM education with industry-relevant training. This marks a major economic milestone for Mississippi, five years after initial considerations by AWS, leveraging the state’s strategic location near major fiber optic routes.

SUMMARY: The Capital Complex Improvement District (CCID) now has its own court, following years of legal challenges. Located at 201 South Jefferson Street, the court is overseen by the state, not Jackson officials. It was established after the NAACP dropped its lawsuit against House Bill 1020, which expanded Capitol Police’s jurisdiction. Critics argued it undermined Jackson’s local authority, while proponents believe the court will help reduce crime. Mississippi Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael Randolph appointed three local judges. The court will handle misdemeanor offenses, traffic citations, and initial felony appearances, with all fines directed to Jackson.
