Story About Martinsville's Textile Industry

[TheHardestYear]

Would like to know what folks here think about the opportunities being created by a company called Solid Stone Fabrics. We visited a few weeks ago and heard about how they're trying to reinvigorate textile manufacturing in the area.

I am so happy to see Martinsville get back on it's feet. I moved away almost after the closing of all the mills. It was heartbreaking to come home to visit and see so many people out of work and unhappy. Thank you, Mr. Stone.

I don't believe it would matter to most people of the location if it meant a job for them. Seems you're a bit picky or either you don't need one.
