The job fair is scheduled for 9-1 p.m. Thursday, July 29, at the chamber office on Fort Williams Street. A list of the companies that plan to participate has not yet been released.
A senior official at Floyd and Beasley said Wednesday that all company operations would cease permanently July 16. The company, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September, was converted to a Chapter 7 in a court hearing Tuesday.
Company president Jeff Floyd said about 118 workers would lose their jobs.
Cecil Floyd, Jeff Floyd’s grandfather, began the C.R. Floyd Company in 1938. In 1944, he and Jule Beasley partnered to form Floyd and Beasley Transfer.
The company remained a private, family-owned corporation.
