# Georgia Abruptly Loses 5 Paper Plants Triggering $2.9B Economic Timebomb

> Five paper mills in southeast Georgia are set to permanently shut down by September 2025, impacting over 1,700 workers. The unexpected announcements from International Paper and Georgia-Pacific are attributed to international trade barriers and declining wood demand. This closure will result in the loss of millions of tons of annual production capacity, severely affecting communities reliant on industrial jobs for generations.

Five paper mills prepare permanent shutdowns across southeast Georgia through September 2025, according to multiple independent reports. International Paper and Georgia-Pacific caught officials off guard with announcements affecting over 1,700 workers, The Current GA reports, citing international trade barriers and declining wood demand.
