A groundbreaking has been announced for a nearly $13 million expansion and rehabilitation project at Yellow Creek Port in Tishomingo County, according to the Mississippi Development Authority.
The project will expand and rehabilitate the port’s wharf, improve the rail and loading area supporting it, and significantly increase the port’s ability to move materials.
