Logging Completed

This past week the logging necessary for the Academic Center (AC) was completed. The loggers did the work for the value of the logs. The loggers are part of a firm that owns a lumber mill. So whatever they cut is going directly to their own mill.

In addition, ILC has used the opportunity of having loggers on site to take out a number of other trees whose removal was not required for the AC building itself. These trees are also being removed at no cost to ILC and what would be their annual operating budget.

So not only are we saving $5K-$10K on the AC by not including this as part of the bid package, ILC (and thus the CLC) is saving perhaps another $1-$5K on general tree removal expenses on campus.
