1963 Good Year for
Industrial Development
In a year end report to its
members, the Clayton County
Chamber of Commerce, states
1963 was undoubtedly one of the
best years ever experienced in
industrial development.
Nine new plants began opera
tion during 1963, representing
an investment of over $25 mil
lon dollars. According to Chester
Lane, Executive Secretary of the
Chamber, two companies located
in the South Expressway Indus
trial Park, three in the Central
Industrial Park and seven in the
or adjacent to the Morrow In
dustrial Dstrict.
The report further stated 1964
has all the characteristics of
being a banner year in new
plant development. Mr. Lane
said this opinion was based pri
marily on the good economic
condition now existing in indus
try and the activity of industrial
clients now actively surveying
Clayton County and the Metro
politan Atlanta area.
Clayton County is one of three
chambers in the five county
area bidding on new develop
ment to locate in the Metropoli
tan Atlanta area.
