Dothan expands pursuit of foreign industry
Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz believes the success or failure of the city's pursuit of international industry will be determined by manufacturing jobs.
However, a little hedging never hurt anyone.
Schmitz returned recently from another trip to China in pursuit of jobs for the Wiregrass. While part of the trip was comprised of meetings with potential manufacturing companies, Schmitz said he also met with several tech companies looking to create a U.S. presence.
"You know manufacturing continues to be a priority," Schmitz said Tuesday. "But there was an opportunity to make some contacts in the tech community and we're happy to take advantage of that. And of course these are very good paying jobs."
