Carpenter Pole and Piling is expanding its Mississippi operations, with a nearly $3.57M investment, by locating a pole mill in Waynesboro. It will be its third facility in the state and create 15 jobs. “(T)he company has been hard at work providing quality wood products to its consumers,” said Gov. Tate Reeves. Carpenter Pole and Piling specializes in utility poles for power companies and foundation and marine pilings for new construction. It has treating plants in Wiggins and Picayune. The new Wayne County mill also will specialize in utility poles and piling production. The company choose Waynesboro due to the “access to the Southern Yellow Pine timber, Fant Carpenter, the company’s procurement manager. The Mississippi Development Authority, Dixie Electric Power Association and Cooperative Energy’s local electric distribution are providing assistance for the project. Carpenter Pole and Piling expects to begin operations in Waynesboro at the end of August, and fill the new jobs within a year following construction. (Source: Y’all Politics 04/19/22)
