SARATOGA, Wyo.—Intermountain Resources is planning to reopen the Saratoga sawmill in southern Wyoming early next year.
Intermountain spokeswoman Nancy Fishering says the Montrose, Colo.-based company plans to make the mill as efficient as possible in order to survive in the poor national timber market.
Fishering said the mill reopening is set for some time in the first quarter of 2009.
The Saratoga sawmill has been mothballed since Louisiana Pacific closed it in 2003. It was then bought by Intermountain.
Fishering said the Saratoga mill is expected to be able to process 40 million board feet of timber per year. Most of the timber will be beetle-killed trees.
