Summary
Lee Adams, president of FabriTex Incorporated of Harbore, Georgia, told the meeting he wants the metal fabrication firm to grow from supporting about 70 families to roughly 100 over five to 10 years, citing recent work for PGA, FIFA and Formula 1 clients.
Lee Adams, president of FabriTex Incorporated of Harbore, Georgia, described his company’s origins, recent contracts and plans to expand so it can support more local families.
Adams said he grew up in Hart County and that the community’s civic involvement shaped his career. "So I have a privilege of growing up here, born and raised in Hart County," he said.
He identified his business as FabriTex Incorporated, a metal fabrication shop that he said has operated in northeast Georgia since 1989. "We've been here since 1989," Adams said, adding that the business began as an offshoot of one of his father’s companies from the 1970s.
Adams listed past work ranging from park benches and community signs to larger projects, including structures for the Air Force and enclosures for a local petting zoo. He said the company is also producing items for major sporting clients: "now we're looking at building a lot of stuff for PGA, FIFA World Soccer, and Formula 1 racing," and that hospitality suites seen around courses are built in Hartwood, Georgia.
Looking ahead, Adams said he hopes the company will expand employment and local economic impact. "So I'd like to see FabriTex's in 5 to 10 years growing from 70 families we support to maybe a 100 families we support," he said, urging that more local business opportunities would help the company increase its community contribution.
The remarks focused on the company’s history, its range of clients and an aspiration to grow jobs and local economic activity. No formal motions or votes were recorded in the transcript excerpts provided.
