The Georgia Department of Labor has confirmed that Mohawk Industries has notified the state of its intent to close a plant in Cartersville by August 23rd, plunging more than 225 workers into the ranks of the unemployed.

The plant, at 200 Industrial Drive in Cartersville, is a spun yarn facility.

Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond issued a statement indicating, “The plant closure at Mohawk in Cartersville will create a difficult situation for the workers and their families. I want them to know that they’re not alone in dealing with this situation.”

The Department of Labor will assist the employees in their effort to find a new job or avail themselves of training and job retraining programs.
