Forestry firms in Chetwynd hedge 1996 hopes
In a forecast for 1996, forestry firms in the Chetwynd area expect a year similar to 1995 with slow demand and low prices. Louisiana Pacific’s Bob Fornelli foresees under $3 million in capital spending and possible midyear price and demand gains. Canfor and Chetwynd Forest Industries anticipate limited expansions, with adjustments in waste wood handling and equipment to lift log value, while competition from eastern Canada and southern U.S. markets grows.

Real estate outlook for Chetwynd 1996 activity eyed
Local realtor Patrick Borton predicts a very active 1996 in Chetwynd driven by housing demand and possible development like a Global tex Coal Mine in Willow Creek that could employ 50 to 70 people, potentially tightening housing supply. Another firm foresees a vibrant market as Peace Country buyers from elsewhere flock to Fort Saint John Dawson Creek and Chetwynd due to low prices in the province.
