General Information
The investment into the Paleto Bay Sawmill by the government is a testament to the area's industrial heritage meeting modern needs. This project aims to revitalize existing milling infrastructure while applying valuable environmental and sustainable practices. We're blending economic growth for a community that needs it with a commitment to preserving the pristine environment that residents of Paleto Bay have come to know and love.
A significant focus in line with our 2030 Agenda's sustainable development goals is environmental stewardship. By incorporating advanced forestry practices and machinery, we can ensure minimal ecological disruption. For every tree harvested by the sawmill, three trees are planted — helping maintain the delicate forest ecosystem. Another key area in ensuring we remain ecologically ethical is reducing waste: byproducts such as wood chips and sawdust are repurposed for alternatives like biomass energy and mulch production.
The economic impact that this project stands to make is undeniable — creating skilled jobs, generating transportation and logistics demand, and empowering suppliers, contractors, and local businesses. We also preserve the rich history and identity of Paleto Bay by bridging past and future: taking an old sawmill and enhancing it with modern developments.

Meet Director Keller
As a Trainee Millworker at the Paleto Bay Sawmill, I had the privilege of seeing the establishment at its pinnacle before seeing it crumble due to unforeseen challenges. I am not a person who holds back on what I feel, and because of this, through hard work, focus, and dedication, I have risen through the ranks to become the Director. Since becoming the Director, my objective has been twofold: creating a working environment where workers can come to work willingly, ensuring that the quality of our timber is top-notch, and implementing sustainability into our harvesting process so that we don’t exceed the rate of replanting of our logs.
Outside the mill’s walls, however, I am very passionate about the people of Paleto Bay, who support us with all their hearts. In return, I believe that I owe them social drives that benefit the community. With an army of the toughest millworkers in the state behind me, the Paleto Bay Sawmill has risen from its ashes and continually strives to reach even greater heights than ever before.
