Hampton Lumber said they closed the Banks sawmill due to a proposed habitat conservation policy proposal. It would limit how much timber can be harvested.

BANKS, Oregon — After being in operation since at least 1961, a lumber mill is closing in Banks, Oregon. 58 employees were laid off Tuesday, in a town of less than 2,000.
Hampton Lumber is giving employees the opportunity to transfer to another plant or receive a severance package.
