HomTex Inc to Create New Jobs in Right to Work Alabama
HomTex Inc, a fabric company, is set to receive over $10.5 million in investments, thanks to the CARES Act. This money will soon go toward getting materials and producing more face masks in Selma, Alabama. The benefits of this are huge, as this will help fight COVID while building the business back up. They also plan to create over 300 new jobs for the area. So this will be great news for the locals, as well as the economy.
