Manufacturing is coming home. Mississippi is ready.
As companies rethink supply chains and bring production closer to U.S. customers, Mississippi is standing out.
Based on first-quarter 2025 data, Mississippi ranked No. 3 nationally for projected reshoring and foreign direct investment jobs, representing 12,084 projected jobs.
That position is backed by the fundamentals companies need to compete: prepared sites, skilled workers, strategic infrastructure and speed-to-market.
For companies considering reshoring manufacturing and U.S. manufacturing investment, Mississippi is ready for what comes next.
See why Mississippi is positioned for the next era of American manufacturing: mississippi.org/news/mississ…...

On the left, the text reads "Reshoring is reshaping American manufacturing," accompanied by the Mississippi Development Authority logo. On the right, the text states "Mississippi Ranks #3 Projected Reshoring + FDI jobs, 12,000+ projected jobs," set against a background of shipping containers and a port.

Today, I announced 167 Rural Health Transformation Program awards totaling more than $104 million.
When we began this work, we set out to do more than simply invest in the healthcare system we already have. We set out to transform how rural Mississippians access care – bringing more services closer to home, strengthening the providers and facilities that rural communities depend on, and using technology and innovation to better connect patients to care across our state.
Today, we are beginning to see that vision become reality.

Today's groundbreaking marks another milestone for Siemens Energy's $300 million investment in Rankin County and the creation of up to 300 advanced manufacturing jobs.
Projects like this don't happen because of one organization. They happen because of strong partnerships and a shared commitment to moving Mississippi forward.
Congratulations to Siemens Energy, Governor Tate Reeves and our partners at the City of Pearl, Rankin County, Rankin First Economic Development Authority, Entergy Mississippi, AccelerateMS and Hinds Community College for helping bring this project from announcement to groundbreaking.
