Marks Lumber will partially close for upgrades this spring

Marks Lumber in Clancy will partially close this spring for major facility upgrades aimed at increasing efficiency, output and safety. The longtime mill operation has already modified its product selection in preparation for the significant facility modifications, which will begin mid-April and are slated to wrap up by July 1.

In anticipation of the partial closure, the business has limited its product selection to only 6- and 4-inch circle-sawn flooring boards, #3 grade 1-inch boards, #2 grade 2-inch boards, and timbers. Customers should expect to wait between eight and 10 weeks for the mill to fulfill orders. Marks Lumber is working on pre-order products to help fill orders during the expansion process.

“Right now we are running the mill as hard as we can,” Operation Manager Jeremy Glatz said in a phone call on Monday.
