STEVENSON, Ala. (AP) - Alabama is getting jobs tied to Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey.
Jack Daniel's parent company, Brown-Forman Corp., has announced plans to open a mill in Stevenson that will produce white oak material for whiskey barrels. The vice president of Brown-Forman Cooperage, Greg Roshkowski, says dozens of sites were considered in the Tennessee Valley before deciding on Stevenson. He said the area has an abundant supply of white oak logs. The new mill is supposed to employ more than 30 people.
The president of the Jackson County Economic Development Authority, Dus Rogers, says the northeast Alabama county is getting an employer with a name known around the world.
Brown-Forman Cooperage currently operates mills in Jackson, Ohio, and Clifton, Tenn.
