The sawmill in Carrot River, SK, is getting an upgrade that its owner says will create 50 new jobs, according to CBC Thursday. Edgewood Forest Products said it will spend $25 million to replace existing equipment.
The company said the new equipment will expand operations and reduce log-processing costs. The equipment is expected to be up and running by January 2016.
Earlier this month, the province provided a tax incentive for companies to create full-time jobs.
Meanwhile, Edgewood is intending to sell the Hudson Bay, SK, plywood plant. It’s hoping a new operator can restart the idle plant.
