Abstract:

Aided by Facebook and a Taiwanese textile company, jobs and manufacturing are returning to Forest City, NC. The Rutherford County city is experiencing a growth in jobs as several major corporations are opening factories and Facebook has built a data center around Forest City. Previously known as a mill town, the companies were lured by the city’s desire to bring them there. The details of the new jobs and economic impact of them are detailed.
