Decatur proclaims Feb. 9 as Henson Lumber Day, recognizes local business
Summary
Council presented a proclamation recognizing Henson Lumber’s investment in Decatur and growth from seven to 19 local employees; company representatives accepted and thanked the council.
Council recognized a local lumber business with a formal proclamation marking Monday, Feb. 9 as Henson Lumber Day. The proclamation, read by the mayor/chair (Speaker 4), cited the company’s purchase of local facilities, job creation and community involvement.
A company representative identified as Casey DeWine (Speaker 8) accepted the proclamation and introduced staff members from local yards. "You guys were great helping us get to where we are today. The city was great to work with," the representative said, thanking staff named in the meeting.
The acknowledgment was ceremonial and required no council action beyond presentation. The proclamation text in the packet references a 22,200‑square‑foot facility on U.S. Highway 380 and the company’s growth in local employment.
