Weyerhaeuser has announced that it will indefinitely close its Veneer and Engineered Wood Mills in the Lincoln Parish town of Simsboro and the Winn Parish Town of Dodson.
The closure in Simsboro will eliminate 47 jobs, while the closure in Dodson will eliminate 138 jobs.
A company spokesman said the closures are due to the slowdown in the housing market, which has resulted in reduced demand for wood products. The spokesman said the mills could eventually re-open, but to set any timeline would be purely speculative.
