Hometown Ice started back in 1990s and makes and distributes ice.
"We expanded outside the county," says Doug Arrington, Hometown Ice LLC. "We purchased another ice company a few years ago, but we wanted to bring all that production here and the ice industry."
The company received about $40,000 in grants from Franklin County and the town of Rocky Mount.
