IRON RIVER The Michigan Commission of Agriculture and Rural Development on Wednesday voted to approve a Food and Agriculture Investment Program grant of $50,000 for Shamco Lumber Inc. of Iron River.
The performance-based grant will help advance a $1.96 million project to modernize and expand the sawmill’s operations and lead to the creation of four jobs.
The expansion and upgrade project will allow the mill to offer year-round sawing of all types of hardwood trees, unlike the current equipment, which is limited primarily to softer basswood. It will also include the addition of a de-barker, metal detector, and chip screening system, which will make higher-value clean chips without bark, to size specifications for use by Upper Peninsula paper mills.
