Manufacturing solutions provider Jabil plans to establish operations in Marshall County, Mississippi. The $119 million project is expected to create approximately 2,200 jobs.

The investment will include the purchase and renovation of an existing 1.5 million-square-foot manufacturing facility that will produce equipment supporting the data center infrastructure market.

“Companies across the data center ecosystem are looking to build fast, and they’re increasingly looking to build in the United States. We’re proud to deliver the cutting-edge expertise and capabilities our customers need to scale with our new facility here in Marshall County,” said Matt Crowley, Executive Vice President of Global Business Units, Intelligent Infrastructure at Jabil.

To support the project, the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) is providing assistance through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive (MFLEX) program. Marshall County, AccelerateMS, and the Tennessee Valley Authority also are assisting with the project.

“Jabil’s second location in Marshall County is a clear example of the state’s ability to compete and win at this level. A 1.5-million-square-foot operation producing data center infrastructure isn’t a marginal project. It’s proof we are in the game for advanced manufacturing tied to global demand. These are the projects that build industrial capacity and secure our place in high-growth sectors,” noted Bill Cork, Executive Director of the Mississippi Development Authority.

Jabil designs, engineers, and manufactures electronic products and components for industries including healthcare, automotive, cloud computing, renewable energy, and consumer electronics. The company specializes in product design, electronics manufacturing, supply chain management, precision machining, and final product assembly.

“TVA and Northcentral EPA congratulate Jabil on its plans to expand operations in Marshall County. Working in partnership with Mississippi Development Authority and Marshall County Industrial Development Authority to support companies like Jabil furthers our shared commitment to fostering economic growth in the region. TVA is proud to support companies that contribute to the prosperity and vibrancy of our region, and we look forward to Jabil’s continued business success here,” added Heidi Smith, Vice President of Economic Development at the Tennessee Valley Authority.

“Jabil’s investment demonstrates what is possible when workforce development and economic development work hand in hand. Bringing 2,200 new jobs to Marshall County will require a coordinated effort to prepare talent and build strong career pipelines, and AccelerateMS is proud to support that work. We appreciate Jabil’s continued confidence in Mississippi and look forward to helping ensure this project has a lasting impact on both the region’s workforce and economy,” said Dr. Courtney Taylor, Executive Director of AccelerateMS.
