ATLANTA — Knowing the carpet industry may not improve significantly for years, Dalton needs to find some new kinds of jobs, a state representative said Tuesday.
Rep. Roger Williams, R-Dalton, said the city will invite industries to the area and already has begun buying additional land for new businesses.
“Here in the past, they’ve been real discriminate on businesses that may compete with the carpet industry,” Rep. Williams said. “They’re on board for new industries coming to diversify now.”
