| Work Detail | The family-owned Gainesville business Georgia Chair plans to close after 102 years of building wooden furniture for homes and schools. The Times reports that Gainesville Chair has produced furniture primarily for school systems throughout the United States. But company officials say the recession of 2008-09 meant schools were spending less on furniture. The Times reports that many school systems have also shifted to cheaper plastic furniture since the recession. President Harry Bagwell said the company never fully recovered from the rough economic conditions brought on by the recession. |
