Idaho Forest Group Adds Location to Right to Work Mississippi
Idaho Forest Group has plans to invest in a new location. For this, they have chosen Lumberton, Mississippi. A place like Lumberton could not be more perfect for a lumber company, so they are investing $120 million for the project. And, they also plan to create 135 new jobs for people in the area. So this will be a great addition to Lamar County.
