RUSK COUNTY — The Longview News Journal is reporting: Rusk County soon may be home to a new refinery that County Judge Joel Hale said would have a “heck of an economic impact.”

Kenneth D. Williams, a Rusk County native who works for Gregg County Refinery, spoke to the commissioners court earlier this week about his hopes to begin construction on a refinery within the next 120 days.

The proposed refinery site is a 165-acre tract of land on the north side of Texas 323 near New London, Hale said.
