MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — A Smyrna-based company that builds fire trucks says they plan to bring 300 jobs to a closed factory in Milledgeville.
Fouts Brothers CEO Scott Edens told 13WMAZ's Kayla Solomon that they expect being operating sometime next year at the old Rheem plant on Roberson Mill Road.
He said they've already gotten more than 200 job applications and are interviewing potential workers now.
He said their first phase of hiring will start in January.
County records say the 677,000-square-foot plant was built in 1978 and sits on 93 acres.
The plant closed in 2009. In 2016, Gov. Nathan Deal announced that a company named Sparta Industries planned to move into the plant and hire 1,000 people, but that deal fell through.

Hope the new trucks are not electric powered.
Good grief no.
