Potlatch to close Elk City mill amid lumber slowdown
Potlatch Forests Inc will shut its Elk City mill indefinitely affecting about 20 workers. Operations will transfer to Kamiah, with efforts to relocate most Elk City staff. Low lumber demand and high public timber costs drive the decision amid multi million dollar first quarter revenue drop. Boise Cascade reports $17.68 million first quarter income, down only slightly from last year.
