Mark Stratton, the mayor of Russellville, stated that the new facility will contribute to the growth of Logan County's economy. He went on to say that the operation's founding and the addition of new jobs are greatly appreciated.

The new aluminum facility is expected to create approximately 75 quality jobs in the region. It will be a joint venture between Tri-Arrows Aluminum (TAA) and Tennessee Aluminum Processors (TAP). The facility, to be located on 37 acres, will process post-industrial and post-consumer scrap from Logan Aluminum, which will later be used in melt and cast operations.

The project not only bolsters the local economy but also demonstrates the region's potential for expansion and prosperity.
