LBM Facilities Opened Since January 2008This map and spreadsheet represent ProSales' attempt to list all the lumber and building material facilities that have opened since January 2008. This list is based on company announcements, press reports, and information compiled by LBM consultants and associations. Most facility descriptions and closure dates are based on those reports. In some cases, we don't know exactly when a facility opened, so we gave general dates. Some listings represent totally new facilities. In other cases, a company has taken over a facility that operated under another name. While comprehensive, this list is likely to be incomplete. You are invited to e-mail ProSales editor Craig Webb or call him at 202-736-3307 with reports of closures or to correct information. Here is a spreadsheet showing closings.
