City council recognizes MS Industries

At the Aug. 20 Russellville City Council meeting, Mayor David Grissom and the council recognized MS Industries for contributions to the community, which include a donation to the Russellville baseball program and the opening of the new restaurant Doe’s Eat Place downtown.

“We would like to thank Steven D. Smith and MS Industries for your investment in the city of Russellville and Franklin County,” Grissom said.
