Hankins Lumber Company Completes Purchase of LP Sawmill North of Elliott Mississippi

Hankins Lumber Company has announced that they have completed the purchase of the former Louisiana Pacific mill site, just north of their current operation in Elliott Mississippi. The purchase represents a $12.5 million corporate investment. Hankins Lumber President Albert B. Hankins Jr. “This facility is getting a complete renovation after being shut down as a small planer mill several years ago to a modern small log mill. This mill will allow Hankins to diversify its product line and enter new markets by producing 4x4s, 4x6s and 6x6s. We are proud to be a part of Grenada County.” When the renovations are complete the mill will employ 43 people and is scheduled to be in operation sometime in March 2021.
