ROSEBURG, Oregon – The “Timber Capitol of the World” was just hit by a major blow. One of the area’s major employers, Roseburg Forest Products laid off more than 100 employees on Sept. 25 after closing one of its Dillard plants. …“Roseburg Forest Products … has ceased operations at its Dillard Hardwood Plywood facility and will exit the hardwood plywood market. This strategic move reflects the company’s long-term plan to concentrate resources on a more focused product portfolio.” Representative of House District 2 Virgle Osborne represents nearby Roseburg and other areas of Douglas County, reacted to the sudden layoffs. …Osborne said this could do real harm for the area in both the short and long term. Roseburg Forest Products said they are encouraging the 107 laid off employees to apply for open positions within the company.
