Multiple lawmakers have told SuperTalk Mississippi that they were informed of the decision Monday morning. The special session could be as short as one day.
The economic deal, which includes a flat-rolled aluminum production facility, biocarbon production facilities, and certain other industrial facilities, is set to bring 1,000 new jobs with a $93,000 average salary to the region. At $2.5 billion, it is nearly double the previous largest corporate capital investment in state history.
