Athens Aims for a Manufacturing Year in 1901
Athens outlines a bold plan for rapid industrial growth in 1901. The city will complete the Tallapoosa shoals water power project, delivering about 1000 horsepower for distribution to mills. Northern capitalists plan a large muslin underwear factory, employing hundreds of workers, alongside talks of reviving a furniture factory with Indiana interests. The drive rests on low taxes, strong water supply, favorable climate, and robust freight and safety services to attract manufacturers.
