The same creative energy that guides our artists, writers and musicians also inspires our innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs.

The Red Hills Ecoplex and Power Project

This is one of the most innovative projects presently ongoing in the state of Mississippi. Located near Ackerman, MS, the Red Hills Ecoplex is a multi-tenant, ecological industrial park designed to minimize waste and pollution and maximize a company's profits. The Red Hills Ecoplex is designed around the concept of industrial ecology, which involves companies within the Ecoplex exchanging by-products. One company's waste becomes another company's source of energy or another product. This concept is now being incorporated into several other energy projects that are developing in Mississippi. Industries are realizing that co-locating with energy facilities offers opportunities for reasonably priced energy, interchange of waste, and general economic benefits not readily available when locating as a stand-alone industry. For more information about the Red Hills Ecoplex, contact Monty Montgomery.
