A local community mill has received a provincial investment for renovations to help it diversify its products.
Harrop-Procter Community Cooperative has been granted $215,000 from the BC Manufacturing Jobs Fund. The money will be used to upgrade equipment that helps the mill cut smaller diameter logs, and create three new jobs.
The cooperative has managed the mill and logged the community forest above Harrop and Procter since 2009.
