Winn Dixie will also close about 70 of its Georgia retail stores, including the one in Fitzgerald. Its employs about 50 people.

One of those new businesses will be Fitzgerald Recycling. The metal processing plant will employ about 160 people. Frontier R.V.'s will also open a Fitzgerald manufacturing unit. It's expected to create 100 new jobs.

Winn Dixie will also shut down stores in Adel, Douglas, and Thomasville.
