Rep. Randy Forbes has set up a Web site to help people affected by International Paper Co.'s decision to close its plant in Franklin.

The Web site's address is www.forbes.house.gov/IPresources. It offers a list of resources available to families and businesses, including employment training, unemployment assistance and federal job resources.

International Paper announced plans last week to cut 1,600 positions in four states. The Franklin plant employs 1,100 people.

Forbes says his senior district representative will hold special office hours for affected residents every Thursday at 10 a.m. in the city manager's office in the Franklin Municipal Building.
