GORHAM — The select board voted 3-0 on Monday, Aug. 30, to sign a multi-year tax settlement agreement with the White Mountain Paper Co., LLC.

“The long and the short of this agreement is that we have come to believe — and fully support — the reinvigoration of this site at Cascades — and that means as a paper mill,” said board chairman Mike Waddell.
