WAYNESBORO, Miss. (WDAM) - After a devastating fire destroyed the Scotch Plywood Plant in Waynesboro on Jan. 6, company officials said they are now in the process of rebuilding.
The new plant, which will be in the industrial park, is expected to be larger than the original one. Crews have been removing debris from the site while engineers begin the initial planning stage.
No timeline has been given for when construction will start, but the large machinery used in making plywood veneer has been ordered and will take several months to make.
