“We greatly appreciate all the support in getting this mill back up and running. […] The warm reception, collaborative approach and valuable incentives package have reaffirmed our decision to invest in Louisiana.†[…]
“On behalf of the State of Louisiana, I encourage and welcome Interfor’s investment near DeQuincy. […] Louisiana’s lumber industry is one of our most profitable agricultural exports, and the market for lumber is red hot right now. Interfor brings industry leadership and know-how to this project, and I am excited to say this new investment will create hundreds of new direct and indirect jobs to Louisiana.†[…]
“The restart of the lumber mill at DeQuincy by Interfor is a huge economic win for southwest Louisiana. […] Interfor purchased the shuttered lumber mill from Georgia Pacific, and is investing millions of dollars in preparation of restarting the mill. This investment would create an estimated 45 construction jobs. When the mill is fully operational, Interfor plans to employ 170 permanent workers in quality jobs. We welcome Interfor to southwest Louisiana and thank them for reopening the lumber mill in DeQuincy.â€
