Additional Property Attributes

Historical land use research and anecdotal sources indicated that the property was vacant until its initial development by Georgia Pacific Lumber Company (GP) as a 500-ton/day Kraft pulp mill between 1963 and 1965; the mill began operations as a pulp mill in 1965. GP operated the plant until 1972 when it was required to divest the property to Louisiana Pacific (LP). In 1994 LP converted the site to a totally chlorine free pulp manufacturing system. LP sold the mill to Samoa Pacific Cellulose (SPC) in the late 1990?s. SPC sold the mill to Stockton Pacific Enterprises in the 2000, and it was then sold to Lapointe Partners Inc. in 2001. Evergreen Pulp purchased the property in 2005, and closed the mill in 2008. FTC purchased the property in 2009, and despite efforts to reopen the mill, began to sell assets and demolish mill structures in 2012. The millhas been inactive since 2008, and portions of the site are currently being demolished.
