Included in the purchase of the mill is an ongoing log resale/export operation that is currently doing both in house sales and custom loading/sales for other producers. The resale yard is operating daily and is staffed with experienced employees. From the seller: Also included is the option of a green energy project that should the buyer choose to undertake will produce a 25% ROI the first year and will grow from there.
