Gov. Barbour joined officials from Stion, a venture-backed manufacturer of high-efficiency, low-cost thin-film solar panels, and local officials today for the company's grand opening ceremony at its Hattiesburg production facility.
In January 2011, Stion announced it was locating a solar panel manufacturing facility in the Sunbeam building in Hattiesburg. The project represents a company investment of $500 million and will create 1,000 jobs for area workers over the next six years.
