Sawmill Gels
Boost From Loan
A loan of $1,500,000, approved
by the Area Redevelopment Ad
ministration last week, is expect
ed to provide backbone financing
for a $2,450,000 expansion and
modernization of the Wrangell
sawmill.
“While the major benefits from
this project will obviously be felt
in the Wrangell area, its impact
will be felt state-wide,” says Gov.
William A. Egan. “Approval of
this loan to the Alaska Pacific
1.umber Co. mill at Wrangell is
another — and significant — step
forward in Alaska’s industrial de
velopment.”
The project will provide new
employment for an estimated 250
persons in the production of lum
ber. a good percentage of which
■will be for export to Japan.
