Justin Justice
JUSTICE ENTERPRISES, INC.
DOUGLAS, GA
Justin is a fifth-generation logger based
in Douglas, GA. He and his father Mike formed Justice Enterprises in 2001, and currently operate three logging crews: a large roundwood crew, a chipping crew and a smaller crew that focuses on special projects for the bigger landowners in the area. Justin said the margin for profitability in the logging business is causing many people to go out of business.
“In the last two years, it feels like we have to haul twice the wood to make the same money. Costs for tires, equipment and fuel are through the roof, and insurance for our logging trucks is almost unbearable. On top of all that, it is getting harder and harder to find people who will show up to work every day. This ad valorem tax exemption would be a big deal for us, and I am just thankful for the support of the GFA and the General Assembly for recognizing the issue.”
