Gov. Stein Announces Halifax Linen's $2.05 Million Expansion in Roanoke Rapids, Adding 11 Jobs
ROANOKE RAPIDS, Halifax County, North Carolina — North Carolina Governor Josh Stein announced on November 9 that Halifax Linen Service, Inc., a textile services company, will expand its operation in Roanoke Rapids, investing $2,050,000 and adding 11 new jobs.
The expansion will connect a new 13,000-square-foot building to the existing facility for additional warehousing and production space. A performance-based grant of $30,000 from the One North Carolina Fund will support the project. The new positions will pay an average annual salary of $51,386, above Halifax County's average of $46,332.
Founded in Halifax County in 1946, Halifax Linen has grown from a laundry service into a regional supplier of commercial textiles and facility services for the health care and hospitality industries. Stein said the company's decision to reinvest testifies to the strength of the state's textile heritage and the opportunities for companies that choose to grow in North Carolina.
