Walmart today celebrated the grand opening of its second owned and operated milk processing facility in Valdosta, Georgia -- a major milestone that will create more than 400 new jobs, strengthen Walmart's end-to-end supply chain for affordable, high-quality milk, and advance the company's long-standing commitment to U.S. manufacturing and local sourcing. The 300,000+ square-foot state-of-the-art facility represents a $350 million investment.
Enhancing Supply Chain Resiliency
Sourcing milk directly from local dairy farmers, the Valdosta facility will process and bottle a variety of milk options -- including gallon, half-gallon, whole, 2%, 1%, skim, and 1% chocolate milk -- for Walmart's Great Value and Sam's Club Member's Mark brands. The new operation will supply more than 650 Walmart stores and Sam's Clubs across the Southeast, helping ensure customers and members have consistent access to high-quality, affordable milk.
"This new facility has innovation at its core," said Bruce Heckman, Vice President, Manufacturing, Walmart U.S. "It will bolster our capacity to meet the demand for high-quality milk, make our supply chain more resilient, and build even greater transparency around sourcing. We're excited about what this means for Walmart customers, regional farmers, and the Valdosta community."
Investing in U.S. Manufacturing and Local Sourcing
This milestone reinforces Walmart's commitment to building a more transparent and efficient supply chain for dairy products, helping Walmart meet the customer demand for high quality, affordable milk to customers across the Southeast.
It follows the company's investment in its first milk processing facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as well as two case-ready beef facilities in Thomasville, Georgia, and Olathe, Kansas. These efforts also support Walmart's commitment to U.S. Manufacturing and pledge to invest $350 billion in U.S.-made products by 2031. Over two thirds of Walmart's annual spend is on products made, grown, or assembled in the U.S.
Supporting the Valdosta Community
To mark the opening, Walmart awarded local grants to community organizations:
* Greater Valdosta United Way - $5,000
* Valdosta High School Marching Cats - $8,000
In FY24, Walmart stores, Sam's Club and the Walmart Foundation donated $56 million to organizations across Georgia.

GE Vernova Hitachi's BWRX-300 small modular reactor to be located at Clinch River
*
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a $400 million grant to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to continue to accelerate deployment of GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy's BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR). With commercial operation ofthe first BWRX-300 at the utility's Clinch River Site targeted for the early 2030s, it would become the nation's first commercial SMR.
"The BWRX-300 is the only commercial SMR technology being built right now in the Western world, and this grant will accelerate its deployment in the U.S.," said Scott Strazik, CEO, GE Vernova. "We would like to recognize the DOE for its leadership in support of the nuclear industry and for championing public-private partnerships to advance the next generation of nuclear technology and bolster the nation's energy security."
TVA led a coalition of utility and industry partners, including GE Vernova Hitachi, in applying for funding through DOE's Generation III+ SMR program. The coalition of partners involved in the funding application reflects the industry's confidence in the BWRX-300 and the role its accelerated deployment through this grant will play in further strengthening the U.S. nuclear supply chain.
In May of this year TVA submitted a construction permit application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to build the first BWRX-300 in the U.S. at the Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The NRC is currently reviewing the application.

* * *
Scholastic Unlocks Significant Value Through Sale-Leasebacks of Owned Real Estate Assets
Binding Agreements Signed for Sale of New York City Headquarters and Jefferson City, Missouri Distribution Center
Transactions Expected to Generate $401 Million in Estimated Net Proceeds to Be Deployed Toward Company's Capital Allocation Priorities, including Debt Reduction and Share Repurchases
*
Scholastic Corporation (NASDAQ: SCHL), the global children's publishing,education and media company, today announced that it has entered into sale-leaseback transactions for its headquarters location in New York City ("555-557 Broadway") and its primary distribution facility in Jefferson City, Missouri ("Jefferson City"), which together are expected to generate estimated net proceeds of $401 million. The sale of these real estate assets aligns with the Company's long-term plan to monetize its significant non-operating assets to improve the efficiency of its balance sheet and create shareholder value. Proceeds are expected to be deployed in accordance with the Company's capital allocation priorities, including debt reduction and share repurchases.
Under the terms of the transactions, Scholastic is to sell 555-557 Broadway to a subsidiary of Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESRT) for gross proceeds of $386 million in cash and Jefferson City to funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group ("Fortress") for gross proceeds of $95 million in cash. Upon closing of each of these transactions, Scholastic will enter into long-term leases to continue operations at both locations, while substantially reducing its footprint at 555-557 Broadway. Both transactions are expected to close before the end of 2025, following satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including title confirmation and surveys for Jefferson City.
"Today's announcement reflects meaningful momentum for Scholastic as we unlock the value of our owned real estate and focus on accelerating long-term, profitable growth and shareholder value creation," said Peter Warwick, President and CEO of Scholastic. "Following highly competitive processes, these transactions maximize value from our most significant non-operating assets, while securing long-term use of strategic real estate key to our operations, now rightsized for our business needs. With a stronger balance sheet, we will be better positioned to continue investing in the extraordinary potential of our brand, content and mission, while returning capital to shareholders."
In making its decision to approve the monetization transactions, Scholastic's Board of Directors, together with its advisors, considered several options and ran competitive processes with potential counterparties to assess market conditions and the value to be unlocked through the sale-leaseback transactions. The Board ultimately determined that these transactions offered a compelling and attractive opportunity to enhance Scholastic's balance sheet and maximize value for shareholders, while streamlining Scholastic's footprint with minimal disruption to operations and employees.
Key Terms and Financial Impact of the Sale-Leaseback Transactions
* 555-557 Broadway:
- $386 million purchase price expected to generate $327 million in estimated proceeds, net of taxes, obligations related to the property, and fees.
- 15-year lease with two 10-year lease extensions, with estimated incremental annual expense of $11.2 million, reflecting rent expense partially offset by a reduction in annualized operating expenses related to portions of the building no longer occupied and other changes related to the transaction.
- ESRT will assume responsibility for maintenance and capital investments related to 555-557 Broadway. In fiscal 2025 the Company incurred capital expenditures of $7.3 million related to the property.
- ESRT will assume the current leases for retail space and the second floor of 555-557 Broadway. In fiscal 2025 the Company received $11.2 million in rental income from those leases.
* Jefferson City:
- $95 million purchase price expected to generate $74 million in estimated proceeds, net of transaction fees and taxes.
- 20-year triple net lease with two 10-year lease extensions, with straight-line annual rent expense of $7.6 million.
The Company will provide additional details during its upcoming earnings conference call scheduled for December 18, 2025.
Advisors
Newmark Group, Inc served as exclusive advisor to Scholastic Corporation on both sale-leaseback transactions. Hogan Lovells served as legal counsel and Gagnier Communications served as a strategic communications advisor to Scholastic Corporation on the transactions.

STAMFORD, Connecticut, Dec. 3 (TNSrep) -- Gartner, an information technology research and advisory company, issued the following news release:
* * *
Gartner Survey Finds Only 20% of Customer Service Leaders Report AI-Driven Headcount Reduction
AI is Augmenting--Not Replacing--Customer Service Roles, with 42% of Organizations Hiring for New AI-focused Positions
*
While there is widespread speculation that AI will drastically reduce customer service headcount, currently only 20% of leaders have reduced agent staffing due to AI, according to a survey by Gartner, Inc, a business and technologyinsights company.
A Gartner survey of 321 customer service and support leaders conducted in October 2025 reveals a more nuanced reality: 55% report stable staffing levels while handling higher customer volumes--underscoring AI's role in boosting efficiency rather than eliminating jobs.
"Customer service and support leaders should avoid framing AI initiatives solely around headcount reduction," said Melissa Fletcher, Senior Principal, Research in the Gartner Customer Service & Support practice. "Instead, focus on incremental transformation and workforce augmentation. Leaders should plan for new roles, leverage central resources, and communicate transparently about AI's impact to manage expectations effectively."
The survey also found that 42% of organizations are hiring specialized roles--including AI strategists, conversational AI designers, and automation analysts--to support AI deployment and management. Looking ahead, Gartner forecasts that by 2027, half of organizations anticipating major AI-driven workforce cuts will abandon those plans as the vision of 'agentless' service proves elusive.
