Stimson Lumber Company's Plummer mill will close and move to inventory storage for the company this summer. Stimson CEO Andrew Miller said the mill was making money but the impact of the current wildland urban interface, or the “WUI,” has made the future dependability of the operation and stability of cost to be called into question. The site in Plummer is currently leased from the Coeur d'Alene Tribe and was taken over from Plummer Forest Operations in 2006.
