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.

Nation's top available recruit announces commitment decision
Former Georgia Bulldogs recruiting target Jatori Williams has found a new home. He committed to the Auburn Tigers , according to Hayes Fawcett . Williams is a four-star interior offensive lineman in the class of 2027. The 6-foot-5, 320-pounder plays for Central Phenix City High School in Phenix City, Alabama, which is about 35 miles away from Auburn. He is the No. 5 interior offensive lineman and No. 97 overall prospect in the nation. Prior to his commitment, Williams was the top uncommitted recruit in the country. All of the nation's top-200 recruits are committed to college football programs. Williams decommitted from the Miami Hurricanes on Oct. 13. The Bulldogs were in Williams' top five schools during his original commitment process. When he decommitted from Miami, many thought it would be for Georgia . Instead, the allure of playing college football near his hometown led him to Auburn. Auburn has the No. 11 recruiting class in the nation, but it still lags behind Georgia's fifth-ranked class. Georgia flipped Mark Matthews, the No. 1 offensive tackle in the nation, from Texas A&M on Nov. 9. The Bulldogs likely were not in the market for Williams after landing Matthews. Georgia has earned
