Parkdale Mills to Close in New Year after Hurricane Helene

Mountain City, TN (WOKI) Citing the devastating impact wrought by Hurricane Helene, an East Tennessee textile company announces plans to close its doors in the New Year.

According to a Tennessee WARN notice, Parkdale Mills in Mountain City will shut its doors for good on January 3, 2025.

The notices act as a way to report to the state mass layoffs. According to the notice, the extent of the damage suffered at the company’s Mountain City location “makes it impossible to resume operations.”

“The decision comes because of the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene, which left the facility completely inoperable,” the notice reads. “Despite best efforts to assess all options, the extent of the damage makes it impossible to resume operations.”

The closure is affecting 120 workers.
