SUMMARY: A national gas station and convenience store chain, Quick Trip, is set to open a location in Grenada, Mississippi, strategically located near Interstate 55 and across from Walmart. This new establishment, larger than typical Quick Trip stores, aims to serve as a convenient stop for travelers between Jackson and Memphis. The opening is expected to revitalize a previously vacant site, enhancing the area and attracting more visitors to the community. The project will also generate new construction and permanent jobs. While a precise completion timeline hasn’t been announced, local officials believe Quick Trip will be a valuable asset to Grenada.

SUMMARY: New federal grants are enabling Lamar and Perry counties in the Pine Belt to hire additional law enforcement officers. The Lamar County Sheriff’s Office will employ four new deputies, funded by a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Justice Department, aimed at enhancing response times for service calls. Perry County will use a $250,000 grant to hire two deputies, addressing the challenges of its large, rural landscape.
