Magnolia biz delegation heading to Paris

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant and the Mississippi Development Authority will lead a contingent of seven to next week’s Paris Air Show. The delegation has meetings set up with dozens of high-ranking executives to discuss expansion opportunities in the Magnolia State – including some firms that will help supply EADS North America’s Airbus jet assembly line currently under construction in Mobile, Ala. The Aerospace Alliance, an organization that helps market Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi aviation industries to the region, will be hosting a Sunday reception for the delegation on the Seine River in Paris.
