LEBANON
About 70 Weyerhaeuser
employees will be looking for new jobs when the Bauman sawmill
closes. Citing pressure from the marketplace and a decrease in
the availability of large Douglas fir trees, which the mill
processes, the company announced the closure of the sawmill in
February. The planer, with 50 employees, will remain open. The
Bauman mill was built in the 1940s.
