SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves is praising lawmakers for approving legislation to provide economic incentives for a new $1.9 billion project in Marshall County, the second largest capital investment in state history. The company will create 2000 new jobs with an average salary of $66,000, and the state will give the company $350 million, with half going towards infrastructure construction and the rest as grants. The bill passed with almost unanimous support, with only a handful of Republicans voting against it. However, some Democrats are frustrated, feeling that the governor and other state leaders have ignored the Delta and other regions along the Mississippi River.
