Brooks County celebrates new industrial park By Billy BruceThe Valdosta Daily Times The new industrial park’s location near rail and interstates made it a perfect location for Roastwood to begin production of kiln-dried lumber for the construction industry, Twomey said.
“I was looking at Lake Park, but I wanted something smaller,” Twomey said. “I checked insurance rates in Florida for a possible North Florida location, but insurance rates down there are way too high. I have family in Georgia and I love the South Georgia area. The people here have been great to us and it’s just a perfect location.” Twomey credited inspiration for the process used to create Roastwood’s special wood products to Sir Walter Lindal, founder of Lindal Cedar Homes of Seattle. “He wrote a book that I read and I was just flabbergasted,” Twomey said. Twomey and partner Walden will move to Brooks County from Tallahassee to run the company, Twomey said.
