The town of Pulaski in Virginia and its small population of approximately 9,500 can boast a new, very productive member of its community: James Hardie Building Products, manufacturer of fiber cement building products, including siding, backer board, wallboard and gypsum. Following James Hardies’ February 2005 announcement to embark on a new construction project in the town, groundbreaking at the Pulaski Business Park took place on March 6, 2005 and the first Hardie Plank was expected to be produced on the site March 15, 2006.
