Halifax Linen Service to Invest $2.05 Million and Add 11 Jobs in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina
North Carolina Governor Josh Stein announced in Raleigh on November 9 that Halifax Linen Service, Inc. will invest $2,050,000 to expand its operations in Roanoke Rapids, Halifax County, adding 11 jobs.
The new positions will pay an average salary of $51,386, above Halifax County's average wage of $46,332, generating more than $565,000 in new annual payroll. The project is supported by a $30,000 performance-based grant from the One North Carolina Fund. The company will build a 13,000-square-foot addition for warehousing and expanded production.
Founded in 1946, Halifax Linen Service is a third-generation family company providing linen rental and laundry services to health care, restaurant and hospitality customers. Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley said family companies rooted in their communities are the backbone of North Carolina's small-town economies.
One North Carolina Fund grants are paid out only as companies meet their investment and job-creation targets. (Source: Office of the Governor of North Carolina)
