Well, the other shoe has finally dropped with the news that one of the largest local industry in Greenwood has laid off approximately 200 of it's 1,000 employees (75% of them based in G'wood) according to the Commonwealth Newspaper. So sad for the local economy and for all the investments being made into Greenwood itself. It was also announced that founder Fred Carl Jr. had also stepped down as CEO today as well.
