Jasper Lumber Co. is nearing completion on the previously announced $135 million investment to modernize its sawmill in Walker County, Alabama. The multi-year upgrade, which began in 2020 and is expected to be completed in 2026, increasing annual production from 65MMBF to 225MMBF.

Jasper Lumber Plant Manager Cliff Beall credited the company’s employees for driving the investment forward. “This entire investment is based on the dedication of our existing workforce and their commitment to embrace the opportunity to upgrade their skills and operate a state-of-the-art sawmill,” Beall says.

Local leaders say the impact will be felt far beyond the sawmill. Jaspert Industrial Development Board (JIDB) Executive Director Green Suttles emphasizes the broader economic ripple effect: “Area harvesting and transport for the wood required to feed the mill will increase, and this will lead to other offshoot job opportunities stemming from the investment made in the mill.”
