MDA grant for Miss. Ceres site

The Warren County Port Commission announced Jan. 24 it had received a $241,450 grant from the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) to start construction of a road to allow access to Ceres’ largest available site and to support in the rehabilitation of water infrastructure assets. The funds is part of the Premier Site Development and the Ready Site programs, which MDA provides to support communities. Grants are announced annually by MDA based on a competitive basis. The grant will help offset costs to construct the road to site B at Ceres and to rehabilitate existing water infrastructure. Site B is Warren County’s largest industrial site – about 180 acres. The site was recently certified as Project Ready by Entergy Mississippi along with two other sites in the park. According to the Port Commission, the construction of the access road and the improvements to the water system will make the site one of the most competitive in the State of Mississippi.
