Commemorate 40-year Anniversary of Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear Station.
This bill (SC 525) is a ceremonial resolution commemorating the 40th anniversary of Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Port Gibson, Mississippi. It honors the plant's role in providing safe, low-emission electricity to nearly half a million Mississippians since 1985, generating approximately 16% of the state's power while emitting no greenhouse gases. The resolution highlights the facility's economic impact, noting it employs over 800 people with $113 million in annual payroll and contributes $30 million in state/local taxes. As a purely symbolic measure, it does not create new laws or policies but formally recognizes the plant's significance to Mississippi's energy infrastructure and economy.
