According to Jerry Desroche of National Power, the owner of the power plant and lumber mill who came to Big Valley today, the power plant will remain in operation.
Mr. Desroche stated that because the price of lumber has gone
so low because of the present economics in this country, it is a losing proposition to continue to mill wood. He did indicate that there are long term plans to re-open the mill when conditions get better.Mr. Desroche promised to get back to Big Valley News when he has more information. We will keep you posted.
