Colorado timber resources sawmill expansion

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service awarded a $175,000 Project Grant under the Wood Utilization Assistance program (CFDA 10.674) to Colorado Timber Resources LLC (CTR), a small disadvantaged business manufacturer, to facilitate new wood utilization technologies and extend efficient use of forest resources at its sawmill facilities in Colorado. The grant aims to support CTR's expansion of its sawmill operations over a two-year period, including the development and implementation of new wood processing and manufacturing capabilities. This builds on CTR's existing efforts under prior federal contract awards to provide integrated resource services and timber harvesting to the U.S. Forest Service across the Rocky Mountain region, with a focus on improving forest health through activities like stand cleaning, thinning, and fuels reduction. The $175,000 grant award was made on Sep 15, 2023, with a targeted ultimate completion date of Jul 31, 2025.
