I’ve appointed PJ Waldrop Executive Director of the Mississippi Development Authority effective tomorrow. My appointment comes after Bill Cork’s retirement from state service.
Mississippi is attracting record-breaking capital investment and creating thousands of high-paying jobs all across our state. PJ has been a key member of our economic development team, and he understands what it takes to bring major projects to Mississippi.
I’m confident he will do a tremendous job leading MDA and building on this historic momentum.
I’d like to thank Bill Cork for his years of service to our state and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
