“I’m trying to encourage the growth and tourism here in RBS, and I think this store is just what we need,” said Mayor Joel Coe. “There are several positive things about the liquor store including more tax revenue, which the city desperately needs. I know this business will be an asset to Red Boiling Springs.”
