Western Cascade Industries permanently closed its Toledo, Or., lumber mill on July 31—the seventh sawmill in Oregon to shut down this year.
The closure, which put put about 50 people out of work, was attributed to poor market conditions.
The move follows shutdowns by Malheur Lumber Co., John Day, in late July; C&D Lumber Co., Riddle, in May; Prairie Wood Products, Prairie City, in March; Interfor, Philomath, in February; Rosboro, Springfield, in February; and Hampton Lumber, Banks, in January.
