Georgia Pacific broke ground on its new $150 million state-of-the-art lumber production facility at the former Albany-Dougherty Industrial Park site in eastern Dougherty County on Tuesday.

GP Public Affairs Manager Rick Kimble and Albany-Dougherty Economic Development Commission President and CEO Justin Strickland both gave their thoughts on the new facility, and the impact it could have not only on Albany/Dougherty County, but also other surrounding areas in Southwest Georgia.
