The mill, which has been operating for more than 100 years, recently finished the $120-million, more-than-year-long overhaul.
Among the improvements were replacing the old 1960s stud mill, the 1960s high-speed planer, and the 1960s continuous dry kiln with modern equipment, and expanding the log storage yard with a new debarking and processing line. G-P also increased available log truck deliveries from 250 to 300 per day, and upped annual production capacity of dimensional lumber from 380 to 450 million bd. ft.
