Georgia-Pacific plans to permanently close the Cedar Springs containerboard mill in Georgia later this year. Most positions will be concluded by August 1. All jobs at the Cedar Springs mill will eventually be impacted.
“Ultimately, we do not believe that the mill can competitively serve our customers in the long term. This decision has nothing to do with the quality of work of Georgia-Pacific’s employees at the Cedar Springs mill,” said the company in a statement.
Approximately 535 jobs will be impacted by this closure. Production will continue for a limited time as the site works to fulfill customer commitments.
“Georgia-Pacific’s focus in the coming weeks and months is to continue to safely operate while supporting our employees during the transition,” concluded the company in its statement.
