New wood pellet facility set for Georgia

A wood pellet manufacturer in Atlanta, US is to build a new multi-million plant this year in Wilkinson County, Georgia.

Enova Energy Group was attracted to Wilkinson County because of its location according to SVP of development Ben Easterlin.

‘Georgia is located in a great fibre basket with excellent infrastructure improvements at this location including rail to the port of Savannah, natural gas as a former nitrogen site,’ Easterlin was quoted as saying.

The $115 million plant, with construction mooted to start in June, will bring up to 75 jobs to Wilkinson County according to Jonathan Jackson, economic development director.
