JACKSON, MISS—The Mississippi Transportation Commission (MTC) and Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) Executive Director Brad White respond to Gov. Tate Reeves’ announcement regarding a massive infrastructure proposal designed to further drive economic development and capital investment in Mississippi.
MDOT Executive Director Brad White:
“There is no better use for the one-time money our state currently has than investing in a core function of government – our state’s public infrastructure. I applaud Gov. Tate Reeves and the Legislature for their vigorous support and focus on Mississippi’s transportation system,” said Brad White, MDOT Executive Director. “Should the Legislature provide MDOT supplemental dollars again, we will be better equipped to enhance our transportation system on a statewide level from the standpoints of safety, mobility and economic development for both the immediate future and generations to come.”
Mississippi Transportation Commission Chairman Tom King:
“Our top priorities at MDOT are safety, efficiency and economic development. This initiative hits all three,” said Tom King, Chairman of the Mississippi Transportation Commission. “Increasing capacity and safety with projects that are nearest shovel-ready is efficient use of one-time funds. This investment will in-turn help encourage economic development and expansion across the state. I look forward to continuing this conversation with our state leaders in the days and weeks to come.”
