Another huge hit for West  Rome as Pierre Foods to idle 350
 -Just as the effects of CCH Small Firm Services move to Kennesaw start to be felt comes another blow to West Rome and the local economy. -Pierre Foods, which in December 2006 paid $93 million for Rome's Zartic Inc., plans to cease production here by August, idling up to 350 employers. -Some could be placed in other Pierre Foods operations but none are local -The hit comes as up to 380 CCH Small Firm Services employees start to transition to the new consolidated operation in Kennesaw. http://www.hometownheadlines.com
