Monroeville, Alabama -- Georgia-Pacific announced plans for $110 million in upgrades to its Alabama River Cellulose (ARC) mill.

The investments include replacing one of the mill's two existing wood yards that process incoming logs, upgrading the other wood yard and a major upgrade to one of the mill's pulp machines. The investment in ARC follows more than $2.2 billion invested by Georgia-Pacific across Alabama in the last 10 years.

The ARC facility includes two independent wood yards that process over 4.5 million tons of wood per year, making the facility one of the largest wood consumers in North America.

The facility has two machines that have the capacity to produce hardwood bale pulp, softwood bale pulp, and roll fluff pulp.
