When a mill closes, a town goes quiet.
In a small rural town, a sawmill is rarely just a sawmill. It is the paycheck behind dozens, sometimes hundreds of families. When the mill shuts down, the loss hits all at once. People are laid off. Local businesses lose customers. The economy can take years to recover, if it recovers at all.
Sherrill Coastal Holdings buys those properties. We clean them up, repurpose the buildings and rail, and find tenants whose presence puts people back to work in the same communities the mills once supported.
John and Carleena Sherrill founded the company in 2017 and have done this fourteen times across nine states. The work is patient. Acquire the property, clean it up, repurpose what's there, then find the right tenants. When it works, jobs come back and the local economy starts moving.
