Hill City still grieves the loss of its sawmill, which was forced to close as a result of the reduced timber program initiated in the Black Hills by the Forest Service. 

 

However, a recent  appeal may provide new light on the  general technical report (GTR) that suggested those reductions in the timber harvest program ultimately leading to the mill’s shut down.
