Wausau Paper is permanently closing its Groveton paper mill at the end of this year. Three hundred employees will lose their jobs.

The Wausau mill is the third North Country paper mill to close since March 2006. The Fraser Papers mill in Gorham will remain the sole paper mill left as the industry that once fueled the North Country’s economy continues to move offshore.
