Amazon project in Madison County to be over $10B, create more jobs than projected: report
SUMMARY: Amazon Web Services (AWS) is set to make a significant investment in Mississippi, surpassing the initially projected $10 billion. During a discussion at Millsaps College, AWS's Roger Wehner announced that the investment would yield more jobs and be much larger than stated, potentially reaching into the tens of billions. Two hyperscale data centers are planned, one in Madison County Mega Center and another near Tougaloo College in Ridgeland. The state legislature has facilitated this development with substantial funding for infrastructure. Construction over the next 5-7 years will continuously boost the local economy, creating over a thousand jobs. AWS also commits to community and educational investments.

Mississippi legislature passes more digital-friendly method of issuing search warrants
SUMMARY: Mississippi is set to modernize its process of issuing and executing search warrants through legislation allowing electronic signatures. The bill, passed by both legislative chambers, awaits Governor Tate Reeves' approval. It permits law enforcement officers to request warrants digitally, and judges to approve them electronically. Digital affidavits can be submitted by individuals under oath. The electronic methods will have the same legal validity as traditional signatures. Security measures, like encryption and recording signature timestamps, are mandated to ensure authenticity. Upon the governor's approval, the law will take effect on July 1.
