Mills opening

Some good news up on the Kennebec River in Bingham Maine. Should be a boom for a town
that's been on the decline for a decade or more.

And down river about 10 miles another paper mill that has been revamped for wood fiber insulation is already operating. Another boom for a decling former mill town.

All tolled about 250 -300 new mfg jobs in a rural area not to mention other jobs to support those workers.
Food, housing, clothing, boots  etc...

That's great news!
Was up that area last year for an in-laws wedding. Beautiful country.

Might help the price for spruce too!

It's always nice to see some new mills coming on linen especially in areas like Maine where the industry has been in decline.
