Fox Lumber Sales, Hamilton, Mt., is taking over the former Mary’s River Lumber sawmill in Montesano, Washington, as Building-Products reports.
The facility has been idle since last March, when Mary’s River shut down its entire 42-year-old business due to trouble getting logs. The Montesano mill was completely rebuilt in 2012 after a fire.
Fox will restart the mill with a staff of about 20, in hopes of eventually employing as many as 40.
