Entergy:
Ceres ready
for more development
Ceres Research and Industrial
Interplex was certified by
Entergy Mississippi as ready for
more economic development,
company officials announced
Monday.
The 1,200-acre site at Flowers
passed a battery of criteria
established by Entergy in a part
a “Certified Site” program
begun a year ago by the utility,
one that grades industrial sites
based on land and property
assessments, active
infrastructure improvements and
development plants.
“It's a sign of a structured,
formalized organization,” said
John Turner, director of
economic development for Entergy
Mississippi.
Entergy has long backed the
site, first developed with
roads, water, power and sewer
utilities with a federal grant
after being purchased by the
Warren County Port Commission in
1986. (Full
