He said the business has been a key part of the local economy for nearly 70 years and was originally located on Hunters Bay. …Sala told council the investment being considered would amount to more than $20 million. “We intend to build a new 50,000 square-foot building and install state-of-the-art equipment that optimizes the transformation of sawlogs into hardwood lumber.”
