This will be HUGE for the U.P.
Upper Peninsula paper mill could get $1B upgrade
Quote:
A $1 billion investment could transform an Upper Peninsula paper mill and retain 1,240 jobs.
Billerud, a Swedish paper and pulp manufacturer, is eyeing the Escanaba Mill to upgrade from producing paper to making an advanced paper product known as paperboard or cartonboard. The stiff multi-ply product is use for packaging cosmetics, healthcare, beverages and candy products.
“The company’s investment will impact the state’s overall economy, employing an estimated 1,800 construction workers for new building construction and renovations, improvements to infrastructure and electrical upgrades,” said Michigan Economic Development Corporation CEO Quentin Messer.
