From Area Development Magazine:

“Although we have invested to expand existing sites, this is the first new DixieÒ plant the company has built since 1991. This added capacity will help us meet the needs of our customers as consumer demand for high-quality, durable paper plates and bowls continues to grow.†[…]

“Having an inventory of shovel-ready industrial sites gives Tennessee communities a leg up when recruiting new businesses to the state. We are proud that Georgia-Pacific found its home in Jackson on one of our state’s Select Tennessee Certified Sites, and we thank our partners at CSX who helped to make this site ready for this significant economic development win.†[…]

“TVA and Jackson Energy congratulate Georgia-Pacific on its decision to establish operations in Madison County. Helping to attract and retain job opportunities and investment to the region is fundamental to TVA’s mission of service. We are proud to partner with the Jackson Chamber, City of Jackson, Madison County and the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development to further that mission and look forward to Georgia-Pacific’s future business success in the Valley.â€
