The Westervelt Company will revitalize a severely distressed rural area of Alabama by developing a state-of-the-art wood milling facility that is expected to be fully operational in 2021. The facility will produce approximately 250 million board feet of pine lumber annually, taking advantage of the company’s nearby timberland and other facilities, as well as its existing customer base. This initiative aligns with the Accelerate Alabama 2.0 Plan, which describes the forestry industry as a targeted industry for the state. The design of the Mill incorporates water efficient fixtures, recycled materials, energy-efficient equipment, and control technology to reduce emissions from operations.
