New Sawmill Announced in Atikokan


Resolute Forest Products plans spend 50-million dollars on building a new random-length sawmill in the Atikokan area.

The company expects to open the mill early next year, creating 90 jobs.

Atikokan Mayor Dennis Brown says its great news for the entire region.

The company says its reviewing potential sites, but plans construction for later this spring.
