Miss. earns Silver Shovel Award

Mississippi is the recipient of a Silver Shovel Award by Area Development magazine for the state’s achievements in economic development throughout 2022. 

Last year, Mississippi was honored with the Shovel Award in the “fewer than 3 million population” category after creating nearly 2,500 jobs through eight projects scattered throughout the Magnolia State. 

In addition to announcing Mississippi as a 2023 Silver Shovel Award recipient, the magazine named the $2.5 billion Steel Dynamics project one of its Manufacturing Projects of the Year. 

The Shovel Awards recognize state economic development agencies that create a significant number of jobs through infrastructure improvements, improved policies, and investments in new and expanded facilities.
