      RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A central North Carolina county is getting
a new textile plant that is expected to employ about 220 people.

LLC will spend $11 million to open the facility in China Grove in
Rowan County.

Carolina Fund, which provides financial assistance to attract
business projects and create new jobs.
