Lumber mill in Alabama to close indefinitely, lay off over 100 workers

A lumber mill in Alabama recently announced that it's shuttering its operations, resulting in layoffs affecting over 100 workers. West Fraser Huguley OSB Lumber Mill is in Lanett, Alabama, near the Alabama-Georgia state line. The mill produces engineered wood products such as plywood and particleboard, northern bleached softwood kraft pulp, paper, wood chips and more. In a WARN notice filed on Oct. 29, the company announced the closure of the plant in January of next year. The WARN Act , a federal law enacted in 1988, requires employers with 100 or more employees to provide advance written notice of significant layoffs or plant closings. The law generally requires a 60-day notice to help workers prepare for the loss of employment. 'Housing affordability' leads to cutbacks The company has chosen to curtail production at its Lanett facility as well as in Leola, Arkansas, due to "continued weakness in demand for wood products used in new home construction and repair and renovation applications" as well as "higher energy-related input costs" than previous years.

AROUND TOWN: Georgia's new agriculture commissioner is a Snellville resident

The Blue Wave that washed through statewide offices and made history last week included a Gwinnett County connection. Georgia’s new Agriculture Commissioner, Katherine Juhan-Arnold, is a Snellville resident who founded Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen. She defeated Republican incumbent Agiculture Commissioner Tyler Harper in last week’s elections and will be the first Black woman to hold the office. “The campaign may be over, but our work is just beginning,” Juhan-Arnold said after her victory. “We’re going to protect our farmers, strengthen our communities, stand up for consumers, protect our animals, steady our resources and build an Agriculture Department that works for every Georgian.” Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen was set up to operate as a nonprofit farm to help low income families have access to fresh fruit and vegetables. It also works with families through education to help them grow their own food. Juhan-Arnold ran on a “Grow Georgia” platform of supporting market access for Georgia farmers, investing in infrastructure such as broadband for farms, protecting farmland, addressing the rising cost to run a farm in Georgia, supporting farm-to-school programs and regional food hubs, expanding international markets for Georgia-grown products and ensuring Georgia’s poultry and livestock supplies remain healthy so
