According to an announcement made by the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD), wood pellet suppliers Fram Renewable Fuels plan on investing $15 million in a production facility in Brantley County.    

The plant is to be operated by a division of Fram Fuels, Archer Forest Products, and the move is expected to create around 35 new jobs.

Harold L. Arnold, president of Fram Fuels said in a statement that, “Archer Forest Products LLC will be supplying wood pellets to help Farm Renewable Fuels to meet increasing demand.
