Vina park to be the newest tool in recruiting jobs

Construction at Franklin County’s newest speculative building in the Vina Industrial Park is underway and officials believe it will give the county one more tool to use in attracting industry.

The spec building in Vina should be particularly attractive to industry since it will only be 19 miles from the new Interstate 22, which makes it the closet spec building in the county to a major thoroughfare.

Funding for the spec building was secured by State Sen. Roger Bedford through a bond issue from the state that will cover 100 percent of the costs. The bond issue also provided for a sewer system at the Phil Campbell Industrial Park as well as the Vina Industrial Park.

Each site the county has to offer potential employers is one more tool we need to use.
