The Arcadia/Bienville Parish Chamber of Commerce has recognized Bienville Lumber Company, LLC as its May 2026 Business of the Month, highlighting the company’s long-standing role in the region’s forestry industry and its economic impact across Bienville Parish.

The Bienville Parish Chamber of Commerce, working in partnership with Bienville Lumber Company, LLC, said the recognition reflects both the scale of the company’s operations and its continued contribution to local jobs and industry development.

According to the Chamber, forestry remains a cornerstone of the local economy, with generations of families across communities such as Taylor, Lucky, Castor, and Gibsland working in logging, trucking, milling, and related trades.

Bienville Lumber Company operates one of the region’s most advanced southern yellow pine sawmills, producing dimensional lumber used in residential and commercial construction and distributing products across multiple states. The facility reportedly sees approximately 250 log trucks daily, supporting a wide network of workers including truck drivers, loggers, mill employees, mechanics, contractors, and equipment operators.

Officials noted that the company’s operations extend beyond the mill itself, with economic activity supporting local businesses and reinforcing the region’s working economy. The Chamber also emphasized the early-morning movement of log trucks as a visible sign of the industry’s daily presence across the parish.

In addition to its industrial role, Bienville Lumber Company has also participated in workforce development and educational partnerships aimed at introducing students and young workers to skilled trades and industrial careers.

The Chamber of Commerce said the recognition underscores the company’s long-term investment in both the local economy and future workforce development in Bienville Parish.
