VAN WYCK – The once-booming Van Wyck brickyard got a new owner and new identity Tuesday, April 30, when Hickory Hills bought the Boral Bricks plant site in the 48-acre deal. The price was not disclosed.
Hickory Hills, a 17-year-old processing plant that sits across the railroad tracks from the old brickyard, is looking to expand its retail line of smoked beef and pork products, said owner Kyle Starnes, 44. The business, processing several thousand deer a season, is known by deer and big-game hunters across the Southeast.
