GBL expanding Vicksburg ops

The Vicksburg, Miss.-based inland water transportation company Golding Barge Line is expanding its operations with a $20M corporate investment that will create 25 jobs in 2020, according to the Mississippi Development Authority. “Mississippi’s transportation network is one of the best in the country, from our integrated highway and interstate systems to our waterways that provide companies like Golding Barge Line with exceptional, convenient access to consumers around the country,” Gov. Phil Bryant said. GBL specializes in the movement of refined petroleum products, petrochemicals and chemical products throughout the America’s inland waterway system. MDA approved the company for the Advantage Jobs Rebate program, which provides a rebate to eligible businesses that create new jobs that exceed the average annual wage of the state or county in which the company locates or expands.
