When Dixie Dye shut down back in May of 2022, it was a huge blow to the Trion, Georgia Industrial Park in neighboring Chattooga County.
The closing of the business, affected some 80 workers; the Town of Trion had donated about a dozen acres of land to the company – back when the facility was built – and gave the company a huge tax abatement in 2018. Trion Mayor Lanny Thomas says there is some potentially good news for the industrial park – as a new industry is expressing interest in locating there.
A meeting will be held this evening (Tuesday, June 18th) at 6:00, at Trion Town Hall to discuss the new industry and the Trion Industrial Park.
The public is invited to attend.
