NEW YORK (AP) - The news was painful and familiar for small business owners in Doraville, Ga., when General Motors Corp. said this month it planned to close its assembly plant in the Atlanta suburb. They'd already been through a GM closing in 2000, and the shutdown of a nearby steel plant.
But Tommy Galloway, who owns Galloway Hardware in Doraville, sounds optimistic about the future. The area has coped with change in the past, and so his small business has survived.
"It's going to affect Doraville for at least a while," said Galloway, noting that the GM plant is a big contributor to the city's tax revenues. But, he said, "we adapt."
