Rails-to-Trails Grant
The city of South Pittsburg was recently awarded a check for $268,893 for the Rails to Trails Program.
This will allow us to create a fantastic walking path along the gorgeous Tennessee River. We are very pleased to have received this grant and cannot wait to get started on a project that is sure to be a wonderful asset to our community!

Widening the Bridges
Three bridges are
in the city plans to receive a bit of updating.
The Locust/2nd Street Bridge, the Cedar/19th Street Bridge, and the
Birch/2nd Street Bridge
will all be widened to allow passage of two cars a bit more comfortably!
Shaw Industries brings new jobs to South Pittsburg
Carpet manufacturer Shaw Industries has chosen to reopen its manufacturing plant, located at 211 12th Street, investing $20 million in the project and bringing 90 new jobs to the area, with a potential to grow up to 200 jobs. Shaw Industries also purchased land adjacent to the building for possible future expansion. The jobs the company will bring to the area will be technical, and the strength of a large-company benefit package will accompany the hourly pay rates.
