Louisiana-Pacific R&D Lab Expansion and Peter H. Johnson Grave Relocation
Wilkes County
Description
L-P is building a roughly 10,000-square-foot R&D lab on its Roaring River property and found an 1800s grave in the way; the county authorized moving it a few hundred feet to a secluded spot on the same land.
Impact summary
The expansion proceeds with a new lab and offices, and the grave gets a protected resting place — at zero cost to taxpayers.
