BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Construction is underway on the Mississippi Cyber and Technology Center at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi.
The facility, which broke ground last August, will serve as the headquarters for the Mississippi Cyber Initiative — a program aimed at delivering cybersecurity training and promoting workforce development.
Steel framing on the building has reached the third story.
The project is a partnership between Keesler Air Force Base and Mississippi State University.
“It’s a great project and a great partnership between Keesler Air Force Base and Mississippi State University to build a $50 million facility to bring government, state, and industry partners together into one place to work on cyber-related issues that face all of us,” said Evan Mines, 81st Civil Engineer Squadron Commander.
The center is expected to be completed in the spring of 2027.
