The 71 acres being purchased from Mental Health Land Trust by Brett Martin and company is outlined (above) near the sawmill property where Alaska Timber and Truss operates, extending southwest to Mitkof Highway. Alaska Timber and Truss is expanding its operation at Falls Creek with a 71-acre land purchase from the Mental Health Land Trust.
Brett Martin, who owns the mill with partner Mike Duman, said the acquisition will provide crucial space for sorting logs and expanding milling operations as demand increases for locally sourced lumber across the state. “We really needed somehow to be able to expand our mill operation,” Martin told the Pilot last week. “When we purchased the mill, the sort yard didn’t come with it, but it had been used for quite some time to deck logs for the mill itself.” Wrangell
