"Mississippi Governor Unveils $2B Electric Vehicle Battery Plant Project"

Mississippi officials are finalizing a deal for a $1.9 billion electric vehicle battery plant in Marshall County, which could create 2,000 jobs with an average annual salary of about $66,000. The plant, to be located in the Chickasaw Industrial Park, would be the second-largest capital investment in the state's history and further establish Mississippi as a leader in the automotive industry. The company behind the project has not been disclosed, but the deal is expected to pass the legislature quickly, potentially in a single day, and could have a significant economic impact on the area.
