The shutdown of Greenwood Forest Products was announced in a media release late last week by company president Wade Walker. The last day for most employees at the plant was Friday, April 2. A handful of employees will remain to help wind up the business and prepare for an auction. The company blamed the closure on rising lumber costs and a lack of wood supply over the past five years. The mill has been operating in Penticton since 1983.
