New jobs that are headed Dalton’s way likely will be based downtown and attract professionals, the city’s mayor said Friday.
State and local officials are planning a big jobs announcement Tuesday in Dalton, Ga., but details are few.
Georgia Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond is expected to be in town to unveil the new employment opportunities. Local and state officials will not discuss the plans in detail before that date, they said.
“We’re excited about any time a job can be created in our town,” said Brian Anderson, president of the Dalton-Whitfield Chamber of Commerce, who said he knows all the details but has promised to keep them confidential.
