Devestated!!!!
Hey gang,
Im not here alot, but I wanted to enlist the prayers of my family. Fordyce recieved the news yesterday that one of its major job sources will be closed permanently. Georgia Pacific made the announcement yesterday that it will not be reopening at all. They have been shut down for 3 months and will not reopen. They did give their employees 2 months severance pay and reinstated health and dental for 2 more months.
Its just so hard, b/c we are a small town, and our town was built around this industry. It will not only affect the ones who worked there, but the loggers that delivered to them, etc. The trickle down effect will be huge. In this time of tough economy, we could only hope it would remain open and carry on, no such luck.
I hope that everyone remembers every day to be thankful for what income we do have, even if we feel it is not enough. God will provide, its just a big hard blow!!
