Mill Proposal Finds Opposition in SafeHarbor

SATSOP, WA-Boise Cascade Corp.'s proposal for a $65-million woods-plastic composite mill in the Satsop Development Park would sit adjacent the offices SafeHarbor.com, and the Internet company doesn't like the thought.

SATSOP, WA-Boise Cascade Corp.’s plan to build a $65-million wood-plastics composite mill at the Satsop Development Park near Aberdeen is riling its would-be neighbor, Internet company SafeHarbor.com.

The online customer support company is complaining that the mill would be too noisy, too dirty and out of place. “We have worked with the (public development authority) for a couple of years now to develop a technology business park–an environment that would benefit us and our people and attract like-minded businesses,” says Sue Cummings, director of marketing communications for SafeHarbor.com. “No one is opposing jobs, but our businesses are very different and we shouldn’t be placed together.”

The proposed mill would be housed in a 250,000-sf facility created from four warehouses left over from a unfinished nuclear power plant. The facility would employ up to 120 people churning out 100 million sf of composite annually.
