Mississippi has secured yet another major economic development project with a $316 million terminal facility coming to Pascagoula.
The Mississippi Development Authority announced Tuesday that bulk liquid storage and logistics services provider BWC Terminals, which already has a footprint in the area, is locating its newest facility in Jackson County. The project is expected to create 25 new jobs.
BWC Terminals serves a variety of industries, including the refining, manufacturing, and distribution of petroleum, chemicals, and agricultural products. The company also provides a range of additional services, including custom-built tanks, storage, blending, and other specialized logistics.
“Mississippi is closing out another historic year with another massive capital investment in our state,” Gov. Tate Reeves said, touting how the state has seen over $41 billion in economic development since 2020. “This $316 million investment is a major win for our Gulf Coast, and it’s helping continue our state’s record-breaking economic momentum.”

The Pascagoula terminal, which will be located at the site of the former Mississippi Phosphates Corporation facility, is being built and operated to support an agreement with Chevron to receive, store, and deliver petroleum products for the oil giant’s nearby Pascagoula refinery.
It initially will include seven above-ground storage tanks and direct pipeline connectivity to the refinery, unit train unloading capabilities, and connectivity to marine infrastructure to load and unload ships and barges. The refinery will benefit from increased storage and a throughput of various feedstocks, as well.
“This groundbreaking marks a significant strategic milestone for BWC Terminals, enhancing our presence along the Gulf Coast. We would like to thank our partners—the State of Mississippi, MDA, JCEDF, the Board of Supervisors, the Port, and Chevron —for their collaborative efforts and strategic planning that made this new facility possible,” BWC Terminals President and CEO Adam Smith said.
“We are eager to unlock long-term growth opportunities that will not only benefit our organization but also positively impact the local community by creating jobs and fostering economic development.”
The Mississippi Development Authority is assisting this project through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive program. Jackson County will also provide monetary assistance. BWC Terminals broke ground on the terminal on Tuesday and expects to complete construction in the fall of 2026.
