Mississippi’s governor announced that the state has finalized a record $70 billion in new capital investments, a move that is expected to generate millions in additional tax revenue.
The governor credited the investments with strengthening economic and population growth trends, which are already on the rise and continue to accelerate.
The administration also highlighted efforts to bolster the Public Employees’ Retirement System and noted that Mississippi is in its best fiscal and financial shape in history. The state’s declining overall debt burden further underscores the positive outlook, according to the governor.
