A Facebook post said International Paper will invest $225 million in Rankin County, Mississippi, calling the move “a great way to end the week” and saying the investment is “more proof that the Mississippi Momentum is real and growing stronger every day.”
International Paper is a global manufacturer of fiber-based products, including packaging, pulp and paper. The company operates facilities across the United States and internationally and is frequently involved in large capital projects that affect local manufacturing and logistics sectors.
Rankin County is part of the Jackson metropolitan area and has attracted attention in recent years from economic development officials seeking industrial and manufacturing growth. Large corporate investments often bolster local supply chains and can influence economic activity in surrounding communities, though specific local impacts for this project were not disclosed in the post.
Details about the investment, including project scope, timeline and expected local effects, were not provided in the Facebook post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
