PONTOTOC — A company that makes reclining furniture broke ground Monday for a plant expansion in northeast Mississippi.

Southern Motion says it's investing $7 million in its new 180,000-square-foot production facility in Pontotoc.

The company says it will create at least 200 new jobs over the next two years, with the potential to double that number within five years.

The state's economic agency, Mississippi Development Authority, says it provided incentives for infrastructure improvements to help with the Southern Motion expansion.

I wish that the author of this article would have stressed that this company does NOT rely on Chinese labor to produce their products. They are one of the few furniture factories in this are that DOES NOT import cut and sew kits from China. They also do not have any factories in China.

If you want to buy an American made product that was made by Americans, then you should buy their products.
