Wednesday we had our monthly visit with the U.S. Small Business Administration, NH District. Our guests today were Sally Wilkins of Wilkins Lumber Company in Milford and Andrea O’Brien, Director at the Sustainability Program with the New Hampshire Small Business Development Center. At well over two centuries of operation and nine generations of family ownership, Wilkins Lumber is the oldest business in the state of New Hampshire. Sally and her husband are involved in the everyday operations of the only remaining sawmill in Hillsboro County along with eight employees and two seasonal workers. Andrea was the driving force behind the addition of solar energy at Wilkins Lumber.
