RV Industry Testifies Before International Trade Commission on Hardwood, Plywood Investigation

On July 16, U.S. Representative Rudy Yakym, Winnebago Industries' Chad Reece, and Genesis Products' Jon Wenger testified before the USITC in the final phase of an antidumping and countervailing duty investigation on hardwood plywood from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam. They argued that ultra-thin tropical plywood from Indonesia does not compete with U.S.-produced hardwood plywood. The material, known as lauan plywood, is a critical input for RV sidewalls and roofs, with no domestic alternatives offering the same properties. The USITC is expected to vote on August 19.

Marthasville aldermen decline to revisit RV park plan

Marthasville aldermen decline to revisit RV park plan

At their July 15 meeting, the Marthasville Board of Aldermen voted not to revisit a proposal for an RV park at Wessel Park. Mayor David Lange said Missouri DNR officials still support the project, but bids received in June ranged from $1.29 million to $1.82 million, far exceeding the original budget. Alderman Leo Meyer, who moved to halt preliminary work last month, maintained his opposition. The city received a $375,000 LWCF matching grant in August 2025, but the plan was scaled down from 21 RV sites to three. Mayor Lange argued that abandoning the project forfeits the grant, but aldermen Meyer and Chris DeVore were not persuaded.
