The Domtar Glenwood sawmill, which employed more than 100 people and temporarily shut down in October, says it will be resuming operations in the coming weeks. The company announced Wednesday that it will restart the sawmill. In September, Domtar cited market factors like a surplus of lumber, low prices and high interest rates in its decision to cease operations. …“The restart reflects recent improvements and the opportunity to support current customer needs. Operations will ramp up in a measured and phased approach over the next few weeks to ensure safe, reliable performance and alignment with current demand. Throughout the restart process, our focus will remain on operating safely and supporting our employees, customers and communities while managing our assets in a responsible way.” Company spokesperson Tammy Waters said “We started bringing a few employees back last week who are looking at the equipment that had been idled since then,” Waters said.
