BATON ROUGE, La. Hunt Forest Products and Tolko Industries have announced plans to develop a $240 million sawmill in Bienville Parish. The joint venture, their second in Louisiana, is projected to create 130 new direct jobs and 387 indirect jobs in Louisiana s Northwest Region, including approximately 300 construction jobs.
The news was announced July 26 by Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, Hunt Forest Products co-owner James D. Hunt and Tolko President and CEO Brad Thorlakson. Construction on the new facility is expected to start in early 2022, with commercial operations starting in early 2023. The facility will be located on approximately 225 acres in Bienville Parish, near the community of Taylor, Louisiana.
Following the death of the owner, stepped-up basis allows for forestland and timber to be valued at current market value, with that value being the new owner’s basis in them. The new owner will calculate any future capital gain using that stepped-up basis. Plus, no capital gains tax is due on the unrealized capital gain that would have resulted from the transfer. For example, if the original owner paid $500,000 for forestland in the past, and at the time of his or her death its value was $2,000,000, then the unrealized capital gain would have been $1,500,000, with the estate owing 20 percent of that, or $300,000 in taxes.
