$18 million expansion of sawmill is good for Nixburg, Coosa County

Residents around Nixburg and Coosa County had 18 million reasons to celebrate some good news this week when Central Alabama Wood Products announced a major investment in a new, high-tech sawmill which, when expanded, will double its production capacity of crossties.

The company feels there is gold in that sawdust, enough to warrant spending $18 million at the largest and oldest of its three sawmills in Alabama.
