MILL STATUS
Mission Forest Products is building a $160 million, high-tech, state-of-the art sawmill at Corinth, Mississippi.
The facility will be one of the northernmost sawmills in the U.S. South and will have easy access to major growth markets like Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, Huntsville, Birmingham and the Midwestern states.
We will access these markets predominantly via efficient trucking routes , but we will also utilize a Norfolk Southern Rail mainline. Easy access to the Tennessee river system also will allow shipping lumber by barge.
Mission Forest Products also will be located in a timber-rich region where the state borders of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee intersect. This will allow us to become a major direct and indirect employer of hundreds of skilled mill and forest workers, including loggers, truck drivers and forestry service providers.
We are making great progress toward the start-up of our new sawmill, which is scheduled to occur later this year.
- Numerous contractors are onsite and working hard to complete the facility’s structures and to install our cutting-edge equipment.
- We have begun our hiring process and have filled positions that are needed to help with building the mill and establishing our business processes.
- As our start-up draws nearer, we will be hiring for many other positions and we encourage those interested in applying to check our Careers Page regularly for updates to our job postings.
