A manufacturing symposium scheduled for next month has been delayed until the spring because of the federal government shutdown. The Dothan Eagle reports Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz has rescheduled the U.S.-China Manufacturing Symposium for sometime in March.
The gathering was originally scheduled for Nov. 10-12 and expected hundreds of Chinese manufacturers and businessmen. According to The Eagle, the often-lengthy process of validating visas for Chinese representatives has come to a halt due to the shutdown of the federal government.
Schmitz tells the newspaper that even if the government resumed normal operations in just a couple of days, that would still not be enough time to process all of the visas. A final date for the U.S.-China Manufacturing Symposium in Dothan is expected to be set later this year.
