$50 Million Investment in Georgia-Pacific’s Muskogee Mill

Georgia-Pacific recently announced plans to upgrade areas of its 640-acre Muskogee bath tissue, towel and napkin manufacturing operations. The Muskogee Mill has proposed investments of more than $50 million during the next three years to improve the safety, reliability and efficiency of operations, in addition to the investment of a new production line and equipment.

“These investments will help Georgia-Pacific continue our focus on transforming manufacturing equipment and processes that result in better employee safety, environmental performance, reliability and quality,” said Amy Borovich, Muskogee Mill Facility Leader. “We appreciate the support from all of our Muskogee community partners, including the Muskogee City-County Port Authority, City of Muskogee and the City of Muskogee Foundation.”

Georgia-Pacific’s Muskogee Mill employs more than 700 people, making it the largest private employer in the city. The mill makes bath tissue, paper towels and napkins for both retail and away-from-home markets, including such well-known consumer brands as Sparkle®.

“We are pleased Georgia-Pacific is investing in their facility and deepening their roots in Muskogee,” said Muskogee Mayor Marlon Coleman. “Their decision to grow here is a testament to our region’s skilled workforce and business-friendly environment.”

The Muskogee City-County Port Authority Board of Directors have approved up to $500,000 in local incentives through its Strategic Investment Program (SIP).

“The SIP incentive demonstrates partnership between new and existing industries and the Muskogee community, it’s a differentiator for us.” said Jeff Underwood with the Port of Muskogee. “We are delighted to partner with Georgia-Pacific for their continued growth in Muskogee through this program.”
