New Brunswick mill taking ‘time out’ because of U.S. lumber tariffs
FREDERICTON — A New Brunswick sawmill owner says his mill is shutting down because of U.S. lumber tariffs.
Danny Stillwell said Thursday he’s taking “a time out,” at least until a dispute over new tariffs is resolved.
He declined a full interview Thursday, but said he stands by comments he made to the Telegraph-Journal newspaper in which he said his Hainesville Sawmill, located northwest of Fredericton, would shut down at the end of next week.
The mill, which produces cedar lumber, decking and fencing, has six employees.
