The facility has been idle since April 3 to perform regularly scheduled temporary maintenance. That shutdown was originally scheduled to end April 17. Granite Falls plans to extend the shutdown until at least April 30 “due to market risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its ramifications,” said the company in its 8-K.
As the anticipated April 30 start state approaches, Granite Falls said it will evaluate whether it is appropriate to keep the plant idle for a longer period of time. The company said it will provide additional disclosure in the even it determines an additional extension of the idle period is appropriate.
