A lumber company in north Mississippi is expanding its operations by adding a sawmill.
Hankins Lumber is investing more than $12 million into the sawmill that will be called Hankins Timbers. The expansion will add 43 jobs at an average salary of about $51,000, according to a news release Tuesday from Gov. Tate Reeves.
Mississippi Development Authority is providing aid for equipment installation. Delta Regional Authority and Grenada County also assisted with the project.
