Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves will start searching for someone new to lead the state’s economic development agency. The governor’s office announced Friday that John Rounsaville of Madison will step down as Mississippi Development Authority director on Aug. 31. Reeves, a Republican, named Rounsaville interim director of MDA in May 2020, then nominated him as director in January of this year. The state Senate confirmed Rounsaville for the $180,000-a-year job.
