Sawdust produced daily by the multi-semi load is one of the salable by-products of Delta Timber’s mill on Hwy. 92, said Eric Sorenson, managing partner of the business, during DCED’s annual meeting on April 12.

A partnership between Delta Timber and Delta County Economic Development (DCED) may help lead to new commercial products and markets along with some operational efficiencies for the local forest products company.

Delta Timber's managing partner Eric Sorenson said that a DCED-assisted grant and feasibility study have identified economic potential in a by-product of his aspen processing mill.
