It’s been a great few days at the Industrial Asset Management Council (IAMC) conference in Greenville, SC. A highlight was getting to hear Amazon Web Services (AWS), VisionFirst Advisors, and our partners at Entergy speak on the factors that led to the historic 1,000 job, $10 billion investment project in Madison County. They discussed how each team the company worked with in Mississippi truly listened to their needs and was able to come up with creative solutions to help increase project speed and decrease risk. Constant, common alignment of goals is the recipe for success. Madison County Economic Development Authority Mississippi Development Authority
