• From shuttered mills to jet engines: Can Delta's green fuel plan keep Georgia forests profitable? (atlantanewsfirst.com) — Riceboro residents are feeling the fallout from International Paper's mill shutdown, which erased a key market for local timber and contributed to billions in losses across southeast Georgia.
