County gets grant to move water facilities; ARC funds will boost infrastructure

The Appalachian Regional Commission has approved a $96,000 grant to assist the Marshall County Board of Supervisors in relocating two existing water mains and a water treatment plant cable to accommodate expansion of an access road within the Chickasaw Trail Industrial Park.

U. S. Rep. Roger Wicker and Sens. Thad Cochran and Trent Lott said the money will be combined with $24,000 in local funds to move the facilities after they were exposed during construction work. The access road between Wingo Road and Goodman Road is being widened to accommodate the new 845,000 square foot warehousing and distribution center, which employs 250 people.
