Vincent says there are three main projects on the go this summer.

First the Ten Mile Bay Quarry is up and running for another season and they had encouraging news from a consulting firm out of the United States, who feels that LIDC has a unique product which they would like to test in Florida and Georgia, where there is a lot of stone being sold.

And for the Postville Lumber Company, they have received an order of core boxes from Vale Inco and will produce 25,000 core boxes this year.

He adds that the Hopedale stone plant is also operating again and will produce head stones, table tops and tiling.
