Relocation of the Peter H. Johnson grave for L-P expansion
Wilkes County
Summary
Louisiana-Pacific found a grave from the 1820s on land where it wants to build a new R&D lab. The county had to sign off under state grave-relocation law, and the company is paying all costs while moving the grave to a quiet spot on the same property.
