On Friday, the Chambers County Development Authority hosted a Groundbreaking Ceremony for Haywood Forest Products in LaFayette.
“Haywood Forest Products is a family-based company with deep roots in Alabama’s forestry and lumber manufacturing industries. While the new Lafayette plant is initially intended for cross ties, serving treating plants in Alabama and Georgia, it will expand into the hardwood pallet components, assembly, and sales, increasing employment opportunities across the facility”, said the CCDA in a social media post.
Haywood Forest Products will employ 25 full-time staff members and invest $2,155,000.
Chambers County was selected because of its strong logging roots and natural resources within the community and adjoining communities that connect landowners, producers, procurement, and transportation partners in the harvesting of hardwoods.
“Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate Haywood Forest Products”, added the CCDA.
