Kamas Valley Co-op demolishes their Old Mill Building

Kamas Valley Co-op had recently applied with Summit County for a Demolition Permit of the Old Historic Grain Mill Building at SR32 and Upper Loop Road in Marian. The building was registered as a Historic Building but the county and owners saw it as well past the restoring stage. So the county had no problem granting them the permit.

Most of the old building solid block will be crushed by DC Transport for their use and the massive amount of metal will be recycled. The old mill was used to combine combinations of grains from different sources by pulling them through their different pipes high in the sky thus creating a controlled mixture for bagging unique to each farmer in the valley.

There are no final plans yet, but Kamas Valley Co-op is planning on building a 5,500 square foot building right to the back of their still existing store. On completion of their new building this old building will also be demolished. The New Store will feature a Bigger Tire Department, with more Lawn and Garden Supplies. They are also planning on more Feed, Tack and Pet Supplies. They will also have more Hardware and Western Apparel. The Co-op features IFA and Purina brands. We look forward to seeing their progress this summer and look forward to stopping in not driving by their store in the future. As the valley slowly grows into a more resort type atmosphere with projects like High Star Ranch Resort and Victory Ranch we need to welcome the change and support our local community business like Kamas Valley Co-op.
