Tolko partners on US mill
VERNON — Tolko Industries is making its first venture into the United States.
The Vernon based company has partnered with Louisiana-based Hunt Forest Products to build a state-of-the-art sawmill near the community of Urania La.
Construction of the $115 million project is expected to start in April and be completed by December.
It will employ about 110 people and will produce southern yellow pine lumber from timber harvested in the surrounding area.
