Georgia-Pacific, a subsidiary of Koch Industries, plans to expand its operations in Palatka, Florida. The $83 million project is expected to create 20 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a 400,000-square-foot warehouse at the company’s existing paper products mill. Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2026.

“We’re excited to launch this project, which will enhance our operations and help us better serve our customers. This also demonstrates our commitment to innovation and excellence,” said Vin Webster, vice president of manufacturing at the Palatka mill. “This expansion and investment in Putnam County will positively impact the entire region.”

Georgia-Pacific specializes in pulp, paper, packaging, tissue, building products, and related chemicals.

“This warehouse is more than just a building; it represents a substantial investment in our community,” noted Mark Litten, vice president of economic development at the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce. “The creation of new jobs and improved infrastructure will attract further investments and unlock new opportunities for our region.”
