Citing the strong work ethic of local people, Louisiana-Pacific officials said Wednesday that Aroostook County was a natural location for its plant to make a new signature line of products. LP Houlton officials unveiled its $150 million renovation to its plant. LP Building Solutions first announced its expansion of the LP Houlton facility in February 2021. In May, the company said it completed the conversion, resulting in the first LP Houlton production of its SmartSide Trim and Siding. It is the first plant on the East Coast to manufacture the product for Louisiana-Pacific.
