The mill will prioritize buying timber locally, and it is estimated that the mill will require approximately 1.3 million tons of wood annually to produce approximately 320 million board feet of lumber a year.
The facility will be located on approximately 255 acres of land including the existing Taylor sawmill site and some adjacent timber land.
