The goal of this project is to complete the work on a post and pole manufacturing merchandizing line, including the electrification, control wiring, and metal finishing work

On September 18, 2025, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, Region 5 (Pacific Southwest Region), awarded Tuolumne Biomass LLC a $999,131 Project Grant under the Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act Financial Assistance to Facilities that Purchase and Process Byproducts for Ecosystem Restoration program (CFDA 10.725). The award funds the completion of a post and pole manufacturing merchandising line at the awardee's wood-processing facility in Tuolumne County, California, with specific deliverables including electrification infrastructure, control wiring systems, and metal finishing work. The project is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2028.

This award represents the third consecutive grant received by Tuolumne Biomass LLC from the Forest Service under CFDA 10.725, reflecting the company's demonstrated capacity to process byproducts from ecosystem restoration projects on federal and tribal lands into commercially viable wood products. The funding supports capital improvements and equipment installation designed to expand the facility's production capabilities and market demand for restoration byproducts, consistent with the program's broader objective of reducing the cost of vegetation removal and ecological restoration activities on public lands.
