Track layoffs
before they reach you.

Montrose Forest Products' sawmill in Montrose, Colorado, is closing as its timber supply runs out, and the company has informed its workforce that 90 employees will lose their jobs. Neiman Enterprises, which operates the mill, notified employees on September 8, 2026, and said layoffs will be staggered between September 8 and November 6 as operations wind down; a WARN notice was filed with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. The closure is attributed to timber shortages driven by insect infestations, heavy reliance on public lands for logs, reduced federal timber sales, and rising operating costs such as fuel and tariffs. Company leaders said they sought buyers and worked with state and federal agencies to boost supply but were unable to secure a long-term solution, and they expressed concern for affected employees, contractors, and the local economy. The mill has been a major local employer and economic contributor, supporting logging operations and additional indirect jobs in the region.

Optum said the move is a relocation rather than an exit from New Jersey and that affected employees will be offered job placement support and redeployment to other open roles. The broader 58-role reduction includes 17 roles at Optum Select Management in Somerset and five at Optum Care in Rutherford; Optum Services accounts for the largest single share with 36 positions. The cuts are presented in the context of prior operational changes across Optum’s U.S. footprint, including clinic closures and the shutdown of its virtual care arm.
