Idaho group picks Lumberton for $120 million sawmill, 135 jobs

  Idaho-based lumber producer Idaho Forest Group (IFG) has secured initial approval for its plans to build Lumberton’s first new sawmill since the 1920s, clearing the way for the company’s expansion into the South. The project is a $120 million corporate investment and will create up to 135 jobs. Operations are scheduled to commence by mid-2022.  The Lamar County Board of Supervisors approved a proposal to transfer 174 acres of county land to IFG. The Mississippi Development Authority is providing a $3 million grant for site preparation rail.  It will make a $1.25 million loan to Lamar County, if needed, for public infrastructure. “We are pleased to have the confidence of the Lamar County leadership,” said Marc Brinkmeyer, owner and chief executive of IFG.
