MOCKSVILLE — Gildan is considering three sites in Davie County for a textile plant that would be a sister facility to the company’s proposed second plant in Rowan County.
The Montreal-based company would invest $112 million in Davie County and create 290 jobs. The $130 million Rowan plant, proposed for Heilig Road, would employ 184 people.
