West Fraser closes U.S., Canadian mills

West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. will permanently close both its Augusta, Georgia, and 100 Mile House, British Columbia, lumber mills by the end of 2025 following what the company calls an orderly wind-down. The company said that the decision, announced Nov. 6, is the result of "timber supply challenges and soft lumber markets."
