Papermill in Jay ME

[thecfarm]

Demolition Plus came into the auto parts store needing some oil for a compressor. I've been seeing the trucks around and asked what they do.
They are tearing down the IP or Verso paper mill in Jay. If they reach their goal in 10 months, then they will have 2 more years to keep tearing it down.

I thought there was a plan to make some sort of fiber/chip board? Did that fall through?

That fiber board is coming. A couple years out.
That is a big place and I suppose all the buildings is not needed. Well, I saw buildings. But I would think there is a lot of equipment that really can only be used for making paper.

Timber-batt sounds highly flammable
