Rambler Wood Products is moving into this former Bush Furniture Industries facility in St. Paul.
Rambler Wood Products is investing $7.6 million to establish a wood products manufacturing facility in Saint Paul, creating 73 jobs in the Russell County area, Gov. Ralph Northam announced Friday.
“As Virginia’s third-largest private sector industry, forestry supports thousands of quality jobs in our rural communities and contributes $21 million in economic impact each year,” Northam said in a statement. “We continue to prioritize bringing high-paying jobs and capital investment to all corners of our commonwealth while supporting working landscapes, and I am thankful to Rambler Wood Products for helping to create economic opportunity in Russell County.”
The manufacturing facility will be located in the 300,000-square-foot former Bush Furniture Industries building. The company has committed to sourcing at least 55% of its timber from Virginia by purchasing $22.3 million of hardwoods grown in the commonwealth during the next three years.
