Employees at the Cedar Springs Containerboard mill in Georgia were told that Georgia-Pacific plans to permanently close the operation later this year. Most positions will be eliminated by August 1.
“Various factors influenced this difficult decision,” the company said in a news release. “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.”
About 535 jobs will be impacted. The company said that 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. Georgia-Pacific will work with them to provide access to local support agencies and job placement resources, including opportunities within Georgia-Pacific or other Koch companies.”
