The Skeena Sawmills sawmill and sister pellet plant, both closed and under receivership, are officially for sale as a package. Initial offers to the receiver appointed in September by the B.C. Supreme Court are welcome up until Dec. 8 followed by a deadline of Jan. 12 to submit a final bid. Receiver Alvarez and Marsal says it wants a purchase contract and sale wrapped up by Feb. 2 with court approval by Feb. 16 and a closing date on or around Feb. 29. The closing date could vary depending upon regulatory approvals. The package consists of the assets of three companies — ROC Holdings which owns the property on which the sawmill belonging to Skeena Sawmills Ltd. sits and the pellet plant belonging to Skeena Bioenergy Ltd. sits. …The city was ready to place the properties on sale for the back taxes, but was prevented from doing so when the B.C. Supreme Court provided the receivership order.
