Siemens Energy expands in Rankin County, pledges $300M, 300 jobs
Siemens Energy is expanding in Rankin County, investing $300 million and creating up to 300 advanced manufacturing jobs, Mississippi officials said in a Facebook post. The announcement identifies the project as a significant private investment for the state.
Officials said the news came as state leaders focus on recovery from a recent severe winter storm, and they credited Bill Cork and the Mississippi Development Authority with continuing economic development efforts. The post emphasized that recruitment and support for business growth have continued despite emergency response demands.
The Mississippi Development Authority is the state agency responsible for business recruitment and investment promotion. Siemens Energy is a global energy technology company that works in power generation and related manufacturing; the company has announced expansions in other U.S. locations in recent years.
The planned investment could bolster Rankin County’s manufacturing base and provide new skilled jobs for the region, leaders said. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
