Simpson County Development Foundation
The thirty-third annual membership meeting of the Simpson County Development Foundation was held Tuesday night at Berry's Seafood Restaurant.
Out-going President, Steven Allen welcomed the large crowd.  President Allen explained "one of the biggest accomplishments that we have seen this year at the Development Foundation is the continued expansions of companies in or into Simpson County.  Pioneer Health Services broke ground on their 20,000 square foot expansion in the Simpson County Business Park and Tri-County Ready Mix of Stringer decided to expand their operations into Simpson County by building a plant in Mendenhall."
"We have also seen the demolition of the former PFG facility in Magee," explained Steven
