ALBANY, GA – The Georgia Pacific Lumber plant will officially break ground in a little over two weeks in Albany. Albany-Dougherty County leaders are eagerly awaiting the groundbreaking ceremony at the Industrial Park on Feb. 5. The lumber plant will create 130 new, full-time jobs, and Georgia Pacific is already starting to hire people to fill the positions. The company is also looking to hire on-site developers and engineers to complete the actual construction of the plant. …“The fruits of our labors over the last 10 years to develop that park into a site that will now support the $150 million investment and 130 new jobs into the community, so it’s something we’re really proud of,” said Economic Development Commission President Justin Strickland.
