Reeves said, “These are the folks who helped finalize a record-breaking $85 billion in new economic development projects and create thousands of high-paying jobs throughout our state. Really proud of what Team Mississippi has accomplished. The best in America!” The post did not provide additional details about the projects or timelines.
Governors and state economic development agencies commonly promote large investment totals as evidence of success in attracting businesses, which can affect job growth, tax revenue and local supply chains. Such announcements often reflect a mix of announced deals, expansions and long-term investments that state officials say will benefit communities.
