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.

SUMMARY: Dr. Timothy Quinn advises getting checked by a doctor at the first sign of cold, flu, or COVID-like symptoms, especially with rising cases and fluctuating Mississippi temperatures. If symptoms are mild, such as without fever or severe cough, consulting a pharmacist can be a good first step. Pharmacists are well-trained to guide treatment options and suggest medications. Dr. Quinn also recommends vaccinations to reduce the severity of illnesses during the cold and flu season.
