North Dakota Mill President and CEO Vance Taylor plans to retire on July 3, 2026. Vance has been in that role for over 25 years, the longest serving president in the 103-year history of the North Dakota Mill. The North Dakota Industrial Commission made the announcement, saying “under Vance’s leadership the North Dakota Mill continued to innovate, expand and generate record profits.” A nationwide search will be taken for the next president and chief executive officer. The North Dakota Mill is the only state-owned mill in the United States.
