P&983 Project Brief the market by foreign buyers, The timber that remains is ofte~ insufficient to sustain bi;h ~olume operations, and too expenslve for many traditional commodity applications, The proposed project seeks to encourage hivher value added secondary wood products produotion, WoodNet seeks to explore mechanisms that will add value to wood products, provide employer specific t~aininq, and 8ncöurage diversification of local economies. JCONOMIC XMP~OTJBSNEFtT THE PRO3ECT W11L PROVIDE: The fou~ countieð that compose the Olympic Peninsula have traditionally provided taw logs to source. outside of the area. Addin9 value to the logs has not been a priority because of the abundance of this natural product. WoodNet seeks to r.~erse this trend. The proposed project will allow timber dependent communities to develop methods to diversify their economies, add new skills and products to the market place, and add value to secondary wood products before they leave the area. without developin9 new .kills and products, it is antioipated that the youngest and brightest residents of timber dependent communities will be forced to leave and employment for those remain1n; will be marGinal. The proposed project will attempt to revi~alis8 and ~dvaftc. the .econd.ry wood products industry on the olympic Peninsula by introduçin; new manufacturing technolo;ies, training methods, design/marketin; skill" and construction of a manufacturing eenter. if feasibl..
