CLATSKANIE, Ore. -- More than 100 workers at Georgia-Pacific's Wauna mill in Clatskanie will lose their jobs as part of a drive for corporate efficiency.

The exact number of cuts prompted by the company's new owner, Koch Industries, will be announced when an assessment of the mill's operations is finished. The assessment began this week.

Mill manager James Jordan says the layoffs will affect 30 supervisory and management employees -- and 90 to 100 hourly workers. The plant currently employs one-thousand-50.

The Wichita, Kansas-based company bought Georgia-Pacific last year.

The announcement comes less than a month after the company sought support from Clatsop County for tax breaks to help it lure a new paper machine to the plant.
