The statement was probably just another exaggeration and a ploy to get sympathy from the court.

"was once the fourth largest private employer in Lumpkin County"
It WAS once the fourth largest private employer in Lumpkin Co. I remember seeing the numbers when I lived there. At one time it employed over 200 people, most of whom resided in the county. It doesnt have that status anymore, however. Thats why you can't find it in the top 5 or top 10 now.

Okay. Can you post anything to substantiate that? The information I posted was for 2005, prior to the lawsuit, which is blamed for the current lower number of employees.

I can't post anything to substantiate it, but I can say that when people in the community were protesting MBA being built and there was a debate of sorts with the county commission there, this employment statistic was given and it was cooberated by members of the county commission. I am pretty sure it is true. They did have close to, or maybe even over, 200 employees at one time.

Well that last post wasnt me, but no, I cant substantiate that. The timeframe I am talking about was around 2001 or 2002 or so, when they had over 200 employees. I have no idea how many employees they had between Ridge Creek and HLA in 2005. I remember them getting the road paved back in 1998 or 1999 because it was proven that they were either number 4 or number 5 in number of employees in the county and the road was owned by the county and they were refusing to pave it for awhile even though they were paving private roads in other areas of the county. They won their case and got the road paved. In 2005 with some new industry coming in its quite possible by then it had already dwindled to number 10 or 11.

And where did most of the employees come from?
Out of State...That was also an argument with MBA.
