![]() According to Marvin Moss, President/CEO of the Laurens County Chamber of Commerce, Richloom�s announcement couldn�t have come at a better time. Moss said, �The City of Clinton has been hit especially hard over the past eighteen months with the closing of CMI. To be able to bring a textile related company into the community that can offer the people impacted by CMI�s closing an opportunity to work in a similar environment is very exciting.�
Ernie Segars, County Administrator, added, �The County is pleased that a textile company chose to locate in Clinton at the Bailey Plant. There is an excellent pool of textile workers in the county that should be a great asset for the company. This is the second major announcement of an industry locating in the county in the past two weeks. We hope this is a sign that economic conditions are improving." According to Clinton City Manager Sam Bennett, �The City of Clinton is very excited that Richloom is moving into the community. Clinton has a rich tradition of textiles and Richloom will find a well-prepared workforce and a positive business environment he said. We will make sure their move to Clinton is a prosperous one for the company.�
