Wherever we go, it is our mission to enhance the lives of our employees and the communities they live in and we are excited to continue that charge in Natchez,” said Erik Toth, CEO of Jones Lumber Company.
A ribbon cutting was held at the Natchez mill signifying the transition. Several city officials were on site including Natchez Mayor Darryl Grennell and various representatives from Natchez, Inc. Economic Development.
