Construction is scheduled to begin soon on a $91 million upgrade at Georgia-Pacific’s containerboard mill in Monticello. It's one of the company’s largest investments in the Lawrence County, Mississippi, facility.
The project consists of replacing the log line, which includes scales, cranes, a rechipper, unbinding racks and other critical equipment needed to safely unload trucks and prepare logs and chips for processing into pulp.

The new log line will reduce truck unloading times, improve truck traffic flow, allow for longer logs and improve wood yield. It will also improve the facility’s competitive position in the industry and will strengthen the mill’s relationships with wood suppliers.
