Entergy to build $25M complex

The Clarion-Ledger, 10/25/7

Entergy officials today will announce plans to create a $25 million operations complex in Jackson.

The company plans to move its corporate transmission headquarters to a new building on Echelon Parkway near existing operations, creating a campus-style complex for employees, Entergy Mississippi’s President and CEO Carolyn Shanks said.

The parkway already is home to the company’s nuclear operations, as well as its storm-response command and training center.

The addition of the transmission center will create an integrated site with more than 500 employees, Shanks said.
