WESTERMAN ATTENDS WEYERHAEUSER GROUNDBREAKING EVENT IN MONTICELLO

Today, Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the Weyerhaeuser future TimberStrand Facility near Monticello, Arkansas. The Congressman released the following statement:

"Mills and processing facilities across Arkansas play a vital role in sustainable forest management practices for our state and provide increasing opportunity for economic growth. I was proud to be in attendance for today's groundbreaking event of Weyerhaeuser's newest mill housed right here in the Fourth District. This TimberStrand project will undoubtedly provide numerous job opportunities for Arkansans and continue the important role of stewarding our state's natural resources. I'm thrilled to see more growth and opportunity make its way to Arkansas through the forest products industry and to see Weyerhaeuser, a company long established in Arkansas, continue to make such a substantial investment in the Natural State."
