Manufacturing Facility auction delayed 11-02-2009

AN AUCTION OF A MAJOR MANUFACTURING FACILITY IS DELAYED DUE TO A LACK OF INTEREST.  THE FRUIT OF THE LOOM PLANT IN GREENVILLE WAS SET TO GO TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER ON MONDAY, IN AN AUCTION OF THE 400,000 SQUARE FOOT FACILITY, ON 79 ACRES OF LAND. HIGGENBOTHAM AUCTIONEERS, WHO WERE COMMISSIONED TO HANDLE THE AUCTION, SAID THE AUCTION WILL HAVE TO BE POSTPONED BECAUSE NO ONE SHOWED UP TO BID ON THE PROPERTY. A NEW DATE HAS NOT BEEN SET YET FOR ANOTHER AUCTION. THE PLANT HAS BEEN VACANT FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
