Orr Cotton Mills Restart After Portman Dam Disaster
The Orr Cotton Mills resumed operations Monday after the Portman Shoala dam breach cut electric power in December. A 1200 horsepower steam engine, upright and gearless, now powers all machinery, with backup electric drive via a coupled shafting system. The restart restores 450 workers, stabilizes finances, and supports local schooling and community health initiatives, underscoring President Orr and Superintendent Loflin’s leadership.
