The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $1,250,000 Project Grant to Vaagen Bros. Lumber, Inc. on Sep 17, 2024 under the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act Financial Assistance to Facilities that Purchase and Process Byproducts for Ecosystem Restoration program (CFDA 10.725). This grant funding will support Vaagen Bros. Lumber's mill retool design and engineering project to increase the efficient processing of byproduct materials from forest restoration activities. The project aims to help transform wood materials harvested through efforts like timber sales, forest thinning, and hazardous fuels reduction into commercially viable products. This aligns with the program's objective to decrease the cost of vegetation removal on federal and Tribal lands while supporting sustainable forest management practices.
