DeSoto County plans to team with Olive Branch on the $600,000 replacement of an old timber-supported bridge on State Line Road over Johns Creek, east of Miss.

Officials from Shamrock Plan Flooring, a division of J.T. Shannon Lumber, announced today the company is expanding its presence in north Mississippi by locating manufacturing operations in the 62,900-square-foot facility formerly occupied by Stylecraft Lamps in Hernando, Miss., in DeSoto County.

DeSoto's 911 Emergency Communications District commission approved larger-than-usual monthly expenses - some $304,893 - but it was welcome, with the bulk signaling final payment for a long-desired new recorder system for dispatchers.
