The 2021 United States Census Bureau reported 109 establishments employing Lowndes County residents.
Now, county leaders and citizens wait to learn if they will lose two of those employers as attorneys and court officials grapple with the fate of three Alabama gaming operations.
White Hall Entertainment and Southern Star Entertainment provide jobs for Lowndes County citizens and according to Commissioner Charlie King, Jr., they support communities in other ways, too.
“They have been very diligent in giving to the towns and nonprofit organizations in the county to support them in what they do,” King said. “They’ve made donations to towns like Gordonville and Mosses, and they employ roughly 100 people in the area.”
