Dothan City Links Shirt Plant to $52,500 Drive
City officials say a new shirt factory could come to Dothan if residents raise 525,000 to fund a five acre site and a 40,000 square foot building. The plan guarantees 350 jobs and a $150,000 payroll in year one, with repayment terms on bonds and a local corporation forming to handle the funding. The operation would produce shirts and related items, with a Dothan branch handling a major portion of output and shipping logistics.
