Well a little bad news on the job front for Metro Columbus the unemployment rate for the Metro Columbus area rose to 7.0% in the month of July from 6.3%in June. The Georgia Department of Labor says the numbers are bad statewide and that the state is experiencing unemployment rates not seen in 15 years. Columbus' jobless rate is the highest it's been since March of 1993. Statewide the number of Unemployment insurances claims rose by 30% across Georgia in July from the previous month. positions at Kia and it's suppliers are expected to help out the valleys unemployment numbers as their hiring process continues. Columbus is doing bad, but a couple of counties to the north Chambers County, Alabama has a unemployment rate of 14.4% the highest in the state of Alabama. Their unemployment is mainly due to the closing of textile mills in the community which dominated their economy in cities live Valley & Lanett. Chambers county is directly acros from the city of West Point where Kia is being built and has several suppliers locating in the county. There economy should be speeding up very very soon.

Anyone know what the construction on JR Allen is for? They have started grading the land and laying sewer lines on the property across from Rite Aid. This must be a large development. Also the property behind Rite Aid is under contract according to the Woodruff development Website.
I remember reading a article not to long ago that after the wal-mart was constructed. there was plans to bring in at least 2 new shopping centers one by a columbus developer and one by a chattanooga developer. I know that billings crossing is suppose to break ground any day now next to the gateway drive wal-mart. It includes a Sally's bueaty store, dry cleaners, chinese resturant for sure as well as outparcel space for resturants. I've also heard that Chik Fil-a has shown some intrest in that area across from rite aid for a new resturant. Not sure exactly whats going on there, but will be sure to keep an eye on it now and a ear out.

Goodwill is constructing a new retail store and training center in the Hamilton square shopping center along Veterans Parkway in the old West Point Stevens store. The front of the building has been getting a face lift for a few months now the signs went up a few days ago. When looking inside there are cubicals on one side of the store and what appears to be a retail area on one the other side.
