WestPoint's Closing Affects Other Abbeville Businesses
Hundreds of people learned Tuesday they will need to seek new employment come August when the WestPoint Plant shuts down. While their situation is near impossible, the impact of the plant closure will be much more widespread.

I think that is a terrible thing that is about to happen. I feel for all the families that are going to be without a job. The mayor states that he is going to try and bring new job to the town. My question is when? I guess he will try to bring in the jobs around his re-election, right. These people need to know now. They have homes, bills, and children that need to be taken care of. Plus, this is going to happen as the children return to school. I feel that the people in elected offices has heard all the rumors the plant maybe closing before now. My question to them is why didn't they try to bring in other jobs before now.
