Rummage named Lexington Chief of Police

Rummage named Lexington Chief of Police The Dispatch Deputy Police Chief Robby Rummage was named chief of the Lexington Police on Wednesday by Lexington City Manager Terra Greene. “I am very humbled, grateful, and excited to be the new chief of police of this community. I am at this point in my career because a lot of people have invested in me, including former chiefs, coworkers, and my family. Over the years, they saw things in me I didn’t see at the time and I really appreciate their support,” said Rummage. The current police chief, Mark Sink, announced his retirement earlier this month, which will take effect on Feb. 28. Rummage has served as second-in-command at the Lexington Police Department since 2015 and will assume his new role on March 1.

Manufacturing returns to Davidson County

The Dispatch Twenty years ago, Davidson County was going through one of its worst economic periods as it watched its major industry pick up and move overseas, leaving massive job loss and economic chaos in its wake. Since before the turn of the 20th century, North Carolina has been known as an area where furniture and textile plants plentifully peppered the region; created generations of families working for the same company, and was a major revenue source for local government. In 1990, over 8,800 people were employed in Davidson County in furniture manufacturing and over 4,700 people were employed in textile manufacturing. By 2009, less than 1,600 local furniture jobs remained and less than 450 remained in textiles.
