Boise Cascade Signs $14 Mil Lease, Plans $70 Mil Composite Mill

SATSOP, WA-The proposed manufacturing plant will be built in the Satsop Development Park. It has been heavily contested by SafeHarbor.com, an Internet company located next to the property. Under the agreement, SafeHarbor will be able to relocate to another building within the park if necessary.

SATSOP, WA-After months of controversy, Boise Cascade has signed a lease that will allow the company to build a $70-million woods-plastics composite mill at the Satsop Development Park located near Aberdeen.

The 30-year lease, valued at $14 million, includes four pre-existing warehouses left over from an unfinished nuclear power plant, as well as nearly 13 acres of land. Boise Cascade plans to convert the warehouses into a 250,000 sf facility that will employ 120 people and churn out 100 million sf of composite annually.

The proposed plant initially drew heavy protest from SafeHarbor.com, an Internet company that will be Boise Cascade’s neighbor. SafeHarbor officials complained that the mill would be too noisy, too dirty and out of place in the development park, which SafeHarbor viewed as a business park geared toward high-tech companies.
