New Georgia-Pacific Facility Opens in Talladega

GOOD NEWS: Forestry Products is one of the state of Alabama's dominant industries. Alabama has the second largest timberland base in the United States and is ranked Number 7 for lumber production. Estimated by the University of Alabama's economic modeling to produce an impact of over $26 million, the addition of the newest Georgia-Pacific lumber facility will generate a significant economic boost for the City of Talladega, Talladega County, and the surrounding area.


Georgia-Pacific's continued presence (now eight sites in Alabama) is a prime example of what can result when the public and private sector work together to create communities that people want to be a part of long-term. And, using a saw to cut a piece of red, white, and blue lumber in place of a ribbon is perhaps the most creative ceremony we have ever seen - a 'cutting edge' way showcase products Made in Alabama and Made in the USA!
