Dixie Specialty Fiber has shuttered their manufacturing facility in Trion. The closing of the business affected around 80 workers and also was a blow to the Trion Industrial Park. The Town of Trion had donated twelve acres of land from the park to the company. The company informed the Town of Trion that they were ceasing all operations at the plant. In addition to the donation of land, the Town of Trion had also give a large tax abatement to the company that was founded in 2018. The death of one of the owners of the company shortly after manufacturing began in Trion and the COVID-19 pandemic have been cited as reasons for the closing of the facility.
