A lumber company is investing $110 million in a new facility in Alabama’s Pike County, bringing more than 100 new jobs.
WSFA-TV reports Rex Lumber Co. announced Tuesday at a groundbreaking ceremony that the new facility will be located 5 miles (8 kilometers) north of Troy in the Harmony Community. It expects to employ around 110 people.
Officials say the Southern Yellow Pine sawmill is expected to be operation by June 2019.
Currently, Rex Lumber Co. operates sawmills in Graceville and Bristol, Florida. They also have a site in Brookhaven, Mississippi.
