Middlesboro plans rotating factory stock fund for local jobs
Middlesboro citizens propose selling stock in a local company to fund a rotating factory plan aimed at creating postwar employment. Investors buy shares at 10 dollars each to build a building and secure land or holdings, with rents and profits replenishing the fund to attract more industries. The plan cites Louisville’s growth and calls for unity to provide jobs for returning soldiers while supporting coal mining and the National Historical Park.
