  NPR.

  This is The Indicator from Planet Money.

• 00:13

  I'm Adrian Ma.

• 00:14

  And today we're joined by friend of the show, Stephen Basaha from the Gulf States newsroom.

• 00:19

  What's up, Stephen?

• 00:20

  Hey, it is good to be with you, Adrian.

• 00:22

  And, you know, I live in Birmingham, Alabama,

• 00:24

  but today we're traveling just across the state line to Meridian, Mississippi.

• 00:28

  Road trip.

• 00:30

  We drive around and show it to you.

• 00:33

  Yeah, please do.

• 00:34

  Our tour guide is Bill Hanna.

• 00:35

  He's head of the East Mississippi Business Development Corporation.

• 00:39

  Basically, think of him as Meridian's chief salesman.

• 00:42

  Now, Meridian, it is like a lot of small cities in the south.

• 00:46

  Great food, small town charm, and hunting for that one big break to turn around its poor economic fortune.

• 00:53

  And Bill says that big break could finally be here.

• 00:57

  This is the largest announcement, not in Meridian and Lauderdale County, but in the state of Mississippi.

• 01:03

  Largest announcement, like whatever?

• 01:05

  Or ever.
