Amelda Arnold is the mayor of Port Gibson, Mississippi and she will be a panelist at the conference Environmental Justice and Nuclear Power Roundtable along with James Miller, County Administrator for Claiborne County. A consortium of nuclear energy companies formed NuStart to build a new nuclear power plant near Port Gibson, Mississippi.
The Mayor and Board of Aldermen of Port Gibson, Miss., adopted a resolution on Dec 20, 2004 endorsing a second nuclear power plant next to the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station and strongly encouraging Entergy to build another unit at Grand Gulf, located about seven miles from Port Gibson. The Port Gibson Board of Aldermen support a new nuclear plant in Claiborne County and the Claiborne Board of Supervisors adopted a similar resolution Dec. 6, 2004.
