Port Lumber, which is owned by the Latham family, will remain in business. 

“Although our family has sold our operations in Maryland, Port Lumber will continue offering our customers the same service and quality they have come to expect from us. We look forward to sourcing our products from Culpeper of Fruitland and building that relationship moving forward,” said Jim Latham, owner of Port Lumber.
