North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue has announced that Stonewall Packaging is building a new plant in Sylva to produce recycled cardboard packaging.

The company will invest more than $16 million to renovate and modify a vacant mill, creating 61 jobs in Jackson County.

The deal was made possible in part by a $200,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund.

The 61 new jobs will pay an average of $39,344, not including benefits. Jackson County’s average annual wage is $27,820. The company will begin hiring this summer.
