Federal Grant Award Summary

On August 28, 2025, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station awarded $999,989 to Salmon River Forest Products LLC through the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act Financial Assistance to Facilities that Purchase and Process Byproducts for Ecosystem Restoration program (CFDA 10.725). The cooperator is applying these funds toward the installation of used equipment that the company owners have purchased, supporting operations at the Salmon River Post and Pole division in Idaho.

The grant funds equipment installation activities that enable the facility to process byproducts from ecosystem restoration projects conducted on federal and tribal lands. Under this program, financial assistance supports the establishment, reopening, retrofitting, expansion, or improvement of wood-processing facilities and related infrastructure. The award performance period extends from the award date through July 31, 2027, with grant activities required to be completed within five years of the award date. This funding supports the broader federal objective of decreasing vegetation removal costs on public lands by creating viable commercial markets for restoration byproducts while advancing sustainable forest management and rural economic development.
