Former KPly Mill Should Be Reopening Soon
Peninsula Plywood Group LLC has signed a lease with the Port of Port Angeles for the former KPly mill. The lease requires the company to hire forty-five employees within ninety days of the signing of the lease, which was last Friday.
Josh Renshaw — who has worked for over a year to take over the mill after it was closed — said that no employment applications have been taken yet and that more details will be released in the next few weeks. He said: “We're pleased that the purchase agreement and the lease were concluded today. These represent major milestones in creating a significant number of jobs for the community.”
The plan is to reopen the mill under its original name, Peninsula Plywood. They hope to have 172 employees and produce 5 million board-feet of plywood per month.

It will be interesting to see how that goes. And if they can sell the product after it is made, if they can't, it won't fly for long. It's a very competitive market.
I wish the new owners all the best. I think they could very well pull this off. That'd be a much-needed boost to the economy.
