• From shuttered mills to jet engines: Can Delta's green fuel plan keep Georgia forests profitable? (atlantanewsfirst.com) — Cedar Springs residents are directly affected by the Georgia-Pacific mill shutdown, part of a broader collapse in South Georgia's timber market that's costing billions and stranding local pine harvests.
