TUPELO, Miss. (AP) — A northeast Mississippi tire plant that was damaged by an April tornado is expected to restart production in June.
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. said this week that it was likely to take several months for its Cooper Tire plant in Tupelo to resume full production after the restart.
