Due to changing market conditions, Alaska Wood Products will change the work schedules of its Wrangell mills, said Lance Ingle, vice president and manager. The downtown mill will resume a two-shift operation as of May 3. AWP, out Zimovia Highway, will reduce its operation to one shift starting April 23. Ingle said that while most of the people from the second shift of the AWP mill will be absorbed by the downtown mill, it will be necessary to reduce its crew by 30 to 35 workers. This will leave the two mills employing about 150 in total.
