Austin Williams, owner of Aus tin’s Farms, has announced that his firm will move to Robersonville in Martin County. Williams said his new Roberson ville plant will cost $350,000, and is being financed in part by Rob ersonville stockholders, by Wil liams, and by Gov. Hodges’ Small Business Development Corpora tion.

In his plant on the out-skirts of Wendell he processes 45,000 chickens a week. In the Roberson ville plant he will process five times more hens than he is now handling. His new payroll will be $6,000 a week compared to $1,500 a week now. Upon moving to Roberson\ylle Williams will take from the Wen dell community a potential $300, 000 payroll, a $6 million-a-year business, and potential jobs for 125 people.
