BALDWYN, Miss. - Foam-maker FXI says it will invest $700,000 to expand is Baldwyn factory, adding at least 60 employees to the current 60.

The Mississippi Development Authority contributed a $35,000 grant to help expand FXI's storage and staging area, while Baldwyn and Prentiss County will split a $3,500 match. The city and county also anticipate granting more than $100,000 in property tax breaks over the next 10 years.
