American Snuff donates property to local community

American Snuff Company (ASC), a subsidiary of Reynolds American Inc. (RAI), yesterday announced the donation of 10 acres of industrial land and buildings to Robertson County, Tennessee.

“American Snuff has a long history with the Springfield community and Robertson County,” said Mick Spach, president of ASC. “Many of our employees and farmers who grow our tobacco come from the area.”

Located at 901 Central Avenue West, Springfield, the property was formerly used for tobacco processing and includes 10 acres of land and three buildings with a combined floor space of more than 191,000 square feet.

“We are very grateful for this generous donation,” said Robertson County mayor Howard Bradley. “This prime location opens up a number of growth possibilities for our county. For American Snuff to contribute to our community in this way is greatly appreciated and this donation will have a long-lasting impact on our citizens.”

Spach said that ASC was confident that Robertson County could use the donation to support future economic development efforts in the region. “It’s always rewarding to give back to the community, and we’re happy to be able to do so with this donation,” he said.
