The Colville Tribe is waiting for the housing market and plywood prices to rebound to resume production at the Colville Indian Plywood and Veneer mill in Omak.
Colville Tribal Enterprise laid off 230 workers Jan. 16 from the mill that is one of Omak’s largest employers. CEO Troy Johnson told The Wenatchee World he hopes prices will rise in the spring.
