Document Description
The Sierra Nevada Conservancy (SNC) would provide funding to the Sierra Business Council to partner on the construction of a sawmill with onsite employee housing on a 124-acre existing industrial property in eastern Nevada County. The sawmill is designed to generate 5.4 million board feet of lumber per year and will provide a much-needed outlet for small-diameter logs generated from local forest-health, hazard-fuel reduction, and fire-recovery projects. The SNC funds will specifically be used towards the sawmill facility’s second boiler system to meet the winter kiln-drying and on-site commercial and residential peak heating demands, and supporting efficient continuous year-round operations. The project will increase biomass utilization in the region to increase the pace and scale of forest-health work to improve forest resilience and reduce the risk of severe wildfire in forest lands adjacent to communities, while supporting sustainable local economies.
