Madison approves $11.74 million funding for 'The Gallery' project

The Gallery development is moving forward in Madison the City, with the $60 million mixed-use arts and entertainment district becoming the first project in 15 years to benefit from tax increment financing in the city. In what proved to be the most routine of public hearings Tuesday, Nov. 10, long-serving Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler and the Board of Alderman unanimously approved issuing up to $11.74 million in TIF revenue bonds before adjourning the meeting after just 15 minutes. “It is a great project in an area that needs to be developed and that has been sitting there a long time, so in order to help move it along quickly we said this is a project we need to get behind,” Butler said. “We’re not quick to get involved with tax increment financing and our record shows that through the years, and when we have done it has been very frugal.” What does the TIF plan cover? Described as project-specific financing, the plan will use future tax revenues generated from the development to support potential expansion and public infrastructure like roads, sewer and water. The bonds will also be repaid through future sales tax revenues generated and incremental property tax

Elon Musk company started Mississippi data center without permits, state alleges

Mississippi’s environmental regulators released details this week on a set of penalties against SpaceXAI for violating state water pollution laws by starting construction on its Southaven data center facilities without needed permits. The company first announced the potential fines to investors two weeks ago, speculating the amount could reach as much as $6.1 million. To limit pollution from construction reaching public bodies of water, state law requires companies to first obtain a permit. Without proper protections, rain, for instance, can carry debris and chemicals off construction sites and pollute natural habitats, drinking water systems and recreational areas, federal regulators warn . Earlier this year, SpaceXAI – through its subsidiary, MZX Tech LLC – asked the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality for permits allowing construction within its growing Southaven footprint , which includes a power plant as well as land to build a $20 billion data center facility called MACROHARDRR. But during a July meeting between MDEQ and MZX Tech, “it became apparent” the company had already begun construction on the land in question, impacting about 30 acres, MDEQ records show. On July 16, a day after the meeting, MDEQ staff visited Southaven and confirmed the infractions. The agency sent two
