Weyerhaeuser closes Taylor mill
Text Size 
TAYLOR, La. - Weyerhaeuser Co. says the long slide of the U.S. housing market has led to the permanent closure of its lumber mill near Taylor in Bienville Parish.
The closure, announced Tuesday, is effective immediately and puts 39 people out of work. Weyerhaeuser says it will provide transition benefits.
The company continues to employ about 925 people in Louisiana at five manufacturing plants and in the managing of about 1 million acres of timber it owns.
