REFORM, Alabama — Nature’s Earth Products LLC plans to invest over $10.8 million in an expansion project that will double the manufacturing capacity of its environmentally friendly products at the company’s facility in Pickens County.
The Alabama Department of Commerce announced today that the growth project will add 12 new jobs to the Nature’s Earth workforce in Reform, which today numbers 33 employees. The new jobs will pay an average wage of more than $22 an hour, according to Commerce.
