Local company Two Rivers Lumber plans to built a second sawmill for the production of Southern Yellow Pine lumber in Alabama by 2025.

As the Governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey, announced yesterday, Two Rivers Lumber will build another SYP sawmill in Alabama. The company, which is based in Demopolis, wants to invest US-$115 million in a state-of-the-art sawmill in Coosa County by 2025, thereby creating 130 new jobs. At its headquarters in Demopolis, Two Rivers Lumber has been operating a sawmill with a capacity of 200 million bft (around 230,000 m³/yr of 2-by-4 equivalents) since 2017.
