Brief: 180 Nevadans lose jobs in plant closure

Louisiana-Pacific said it will shift production of engineered wood products from the plant in Fernley to plants in Hines, Ore., and Wilmington, N.C.

The company said the decision was driven by the abundant wood supply and easier market access in the South and East. Louisiana-Pacific, based in Portland, Ore., has 12-month revenue of $2.3 billion.
