Voith’s West Monroe facility donates $3,000 to the City of West Monroe for cleanup of park ravaged by Hurricane Laura
- The park had damage to trees and walkways.
- Voith Paper, a manufacturer in West Monroe, employs just under 100 people locally.
“As a local company and as members of this community, we are proud to help the city with the financial burden of cleaning up the park,” said Ronnie Hines, Senior Manager of Operations West Monroe, Voith Paper. “Voith uses the park for its annual picnic and our employees enjoy the park throughout the year, making this donation a natural fit.”
Voith’s West Monroe facility manufactures and services products for the paper production industry and employs a little under 100 people at the West Monroe facility.
The donation check was presented in late December and was accepted by West Monroe Mayor, Staci Mitchell and City of West Monroe Parks and Recreation Director, Stuart Hodnett.
Kiroli Park is owned and operated by the City of West Monroe in Louisiana. It offers 150 acres for the public to explore and includes playground, a conservatory, a dog park, tennis courts, gardens, picnic areas, fishing ponds and hiking trails. It was named by combining the names of the Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions clubs that purchased the land in 1925.
