"While Federal funding of projects is possible, it will be from each communities own efforts that the most effective gains will be made, not only in infrastructure, but in job creation as well."
"With gas prices over $3 per gallon and food prices spiralling out of sight, small business now more than ever must take the lead in creating job opportunities not thousands at a time but 5-10 and as these foundational businesses locate and operate in MS, other small independent businesses will spring up to support them. This will create the Mississippi Miracle that will enable our State to be the leader, not the least,
in economic development for the 21st century."
"Making Mississippi, and central Mississippi in particular, a destination of choice will be the key to not only mproving our State's image, but using it's history, scenery, and overlooked potential to bring economic opportunities and prosperity quickly to the district by providing service to those at or near retirement.
With the ever aging baby boomer population, there is no reason central Mississippi shouldn't become the new Florida as a Mecca for those fellow US citizens seeking affordiable quality retirement villages accented with superior health care on site. Touurism and recreation are important, but these retirees will become a major new source of tax base increase for the State and local communities.
Another very important consideration are technological jobs in the aerospacei ndustry. Mississippi is one of the top ten State's for Areospace jobs. Besides the highly technical positions, the spin off support positions created generate huge new revenue sources that can fund projects to entice more of our youth to stay in school. "
