Abstract:

The rural town of Robbins in Moore County, North Carolina was once the home to a modern poultry processing plant, textile mills, and manufacturing industries. Over the years, Robbins began to suffer due to the loss of its manufacturing base and jobs. In 2006, a community chicken dinner led to business plans to revitalize Robbins, which ultimately succeeded in bringing back jobs and growing the local economy.
