The Facts

Who is Foley Cellulose and what is the value created for Taylor County?

Georgia-Pacific’s Foley Cellulose mill creates value by making specialty fibers found in products that people around the world use every day, including clothing, tires, shampoo, diapers, filters, and wipes.

We employ over 500 skilled workers from Taylor and surrounding counties. In addition, over 200 contractors and over 1,000 logging and other service jobs are associated with the Foley mill.

Per an Economic Impact Study provided by the University of Florida in 2016, Foley Cellulose generates more than $230 million annually for the Florida economy, with over $4 million in annual local taxes paid. 

We believe that to be successful in business, we must be successful in our communities and be a strong corporate partner. In part, our organization and employees do this by supporting local/regional non-profit organizations that help create value for our community and its citizens. This includes contributions of more than $100,000 annually to the community, charities, such as the local United Way, and schools. We believe that we must earn the right every day to operate our facilities in the communities where we work and live. That means being a good corporate member of our community.
