LUMBERTON — U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, who said he likes to hunt and shoot guns, didn’t get to fire a gun as he toured Cape Fear Arsenal in Lumberton.
Hudson did, however, have the opportunity to get a close up view of an upstart business that he said shows that manufacturing can once again become the engine driving the economy of Robeson and surrounding counties.
Hudson, whose 8th District includes almost all of Robeson County, toured the arsenal on Monday. During his visit, he discussed manufacturing and its importance to the growth of local economies.
