Last update: 7 hours ago

Mississippi Energy & Manufacturing: Siemens Energy broke ground in Pearl on a $300 million factory to build high-voltage switchgear, aiming to create up to 300 jobs and expand grid-tech capacity, with a training center included. Mississippi Water & Weather Resilience: ULM won a record $4.21 million Army contract to expand weather and water monitoring across the Lower Mississippi River Basin, adding 50 environmental stations in Louisiana plus parts of Arkansas and Mississippi to improve flood and drought forecasting. Mississippi Solar Investment: Steel River Energy Center is underway in Mississippi County after Cypress Creek and Google broke ground on what’s billed as the nation’s largest solar-plus-storage project, targeting 2.5 GW of solar and 2.9 GWh of battery storage by 2029. Port & River Logistics: Turn Services added the War Admiral towboat as the second vessel delivered in its eight-boat Lower Mississippi River fleet program, designed for standardized maintenance and operations. Environmental Protection: A nonprofit sued the federal government over delayed critical habitat protections for the Pearl River map turtle, arguing habitat loss from dams and diversions leaves the species vulnerable. Industry & Workforce: ASCE honored Mississippi engineer leaders with the 2026 William H. Wisely American Civil Engineer Award for coastal management, public policy work, and professional development.
