Timeline
- 2020closure
Closed in April 2020 due to a chronic shortage of timber that the company attributed largely to litigation over Forest Service timber sales, which had kept the mill at half capacity for a decade (about 70 jobs); the mill never reopened and was destroyed by fire in May 2022 weeks before its equipment was to be auctioned.
