Lawmakers put grievances aside, approving $1.9 billion EV battery plant in Marshall County
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Legislature green-lit a historic $1.9 billion economic development initiative to attract an electric battery production consortium to Marshall County, with Governor Tate Reeves supporting the second-largest investment in state history. Despite bipartisan concerns regarding the project’s haste and Chinese affiliations, legislators rallied to pass SB 2001, SB 2002, and HB 1, known as Project Poppy, which promises 2,000 jobs with substantial salaries. The state’s contribution includes a $350 million package with tax exemptions, while local hiring amendments were considered but rejected. Governor Reeves is expected to sign the bills, cementing the deal aimed at strengthening Mississippi’s automotive sector presence.

SUMMARY: Sean Pedulla’s late three-pointer secured an 87-84 victory for Ole Miss over Oklahoma, preventing a fourth consecutive loss.
