White Mountain Paper Co. mill in Gorham

The new owners of the White Mountain Paper Co. in Gorham plan to demolish 40 percent of all its buildings’ exteriors and remove 25 percent of what’s inside, cutting overhead costs so its paper (tissue) machine (inside boxy building, right) turns a profit. (EDITH TUCKER PHOTO)

GORHAM — The White Mountain Paper Co.’s stabilization plan includes demolishing 40 percent of its buildings’ shells and removing 25 percent of what’s inside them.

Changes planned at the mill complex were reported to the Gorham Planning Board last Thursday by select board chair and planning board member Mike Waddell. He spoke on behalf of both selectmen Judy LeBlanc and Adam White.
