Brent Bailey to host Vicksburg community forum on utility services

Mississippi Central District Public Service Commissioner, Brent Bailey, is set to host a pivotal Community Forum in Vicksburg for the residents of Vicksburg/Warren County. This event aims to foster an open dialogue between the community and the Commissioner concerning local utility services.

Event Details:

• Date: September 19, 2023
• Time: 6:00 p.m.
• Location: Robert M. Walker Building Board Room, 1415 Walnut Street, Vicksburg

Commissioner Bailey plans to offer insight into the Commission’s goals and its ongoing efforts to ensure that public utility services remain efficient, dependable, and economically feasible for residents. An integral part of the forum will be the Commissioner’s presentation on the findings from the Commission’s exhaustive review of Entergy Mississippi, LLC’s restoration measures following the storms that swept the region in June 2023.

Residents are encouraged to attend this enlightening forum, not just to garner vital information but to actively engage in discussions regarding their utility services. The event serves as an invaluable opportunity for the public to acquaint themselves with Commissioner Bailey, raise questions concerning their utilities, or express any reservations they might have.

Efforts have been underway to raise awareness about this significant community event. Last week, representatives visited Vicksburg to distribute event flyers to local businesses, eateries, fitness centers, drugstores, and other establishments. The response from the community was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the initiative and showing keen interest in attending.

Attendance is completely free of charge, and attendees will be treated to refreshments.

The organizing team extends its gratitude in advance to anyone who can help amplify news of this forum, ensuring that it reaches as many Vicksburg/Warren County residents as possible. They believe this gathering will play a crucial role in fortifying the bond between the community and its utility service providers.
