Washington Kills 120 Tacoma Jobs As Georgia-Pacific Moves $325M Plant To Texas

<p>Georgia-Pacific is closing its gypsum board plant at 1240 Alexander Avenue in Tacoma, laying off all 120 employees by October 30th. The company blames declining home sales and a collapsing repair-and-remodel market since 2022 — but the mainstream media is giving you half the story.</p><p>The half they won't tell you: Georgia-Pacific simultaneously opened a brand-new $325 million, 700,000-square-foot gypsum board facility in Sweetwater, Texas. That is not a market retreat — that is a strategic relocation away from Washington state. When you stack Olympia's tax burden against what Texas offers, the math writes itself.</p><p>This closure is part of a broader Pacific Northwest economic chill. Amazon, T-Mobile, and the architecture and tech sectors are all shedding headcount. Washington's answer — millionaire taxes, Jumpstart taxes, punishing gas levies — treats business as a revenue extraction target rather than a partner worth keeping. Tacoma's 120 lost jobs are the bill coming due.</p><p>Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell — we connect the dots the mainstream media won't touch.</p><p>#NFRP #Tacoma #GeorgiaPacific</p><p><strong>GO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS</strong> 🌟<br><a href="https://ReasonableTV.com/">https://ReasonableTV.com/</a></p><p>🛍️ <strong>MERCH</strong> - <a href="https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/">https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/</a></p><p>💬 <strong>JOIN</strong> our <strong>FREE</strong> Discord Community!
