LAFAYETTE, GA. – The old Imperial/Sweetheart Cup plant may house an expanded Walker County manufacturer soon, if due diligence checks for environmental hazards come back clean.
Larry Brooks, economic development and resource coordinator for Walker County, said Friday that a manufacturer in the county is in talks to buy the 200,000 square-foot facility, which is owned by the Allen family and has been used for storage and warehousing most recently.
Brooks said because discussions are currently ongoing, the potential buyer cannot be named.
But Brooks said “right now, it looks very promising.”
He expects some word on the deal before the month’s end.
