Southwire will invest more than a quarter of a billion dollars and create nearly 130 jobs in Starkville, a state social media post said.
The announcement, posted on a state-run social account, called the investment a win for Mississippi but provided few additional details. The post did not specify a timeline for the investment, the types of jobs to be created or whether state or local incentives were involved.
Southwire is a major manufacturer of wire and cable and has been involved in multiple manufacturing projects across the United States. Investments of this size typically aim to expand production capacity and support local economies through job creation and supplier activity.
The move represents another economic development opportunity for Starkville and the surrounding region as communities compete to attract manufacturing employers. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
