    NEW BERN, N.C. (WNCT) — Weyerhaeuser has shut down the operations at their mill in New Bern.

    In a press statement, the company said, “We did not come to this decision lightly given the significant impact on our employees, their families and the surrounding community, where we have a long history.”

    The company went on to say that they conducted tests to see how well the mill would do long-term in the market, and that due to the cost and structure of the facility, they decided it was best to cease operations.

    Weyerhaeuser’s mill in New Bern employed 75 employees and some will be offered opportunities at other mills.
