Douglasville cotton mill expansion could boost city growth
The Douglasville mill, with an $800,000 stock and about 600 workers, plans to raise capital to $1/2 million to double capacity. The move would necessitate 75 new cottages and 50 more tenement houses, creating employment and spurring shops and services as the town grows beyond its old standstill era. Officials say the plan would allow cutting 20,000 yards of cloth and deepen the city’s prosperity, mirroring Vienna’s potential with a new mill.
