Port Hawkesbury Backup Plan Negotiated


A backup plan to sell off the assets of NewPage Port Hawkesbury is being negotiated in case the going-concern sale to Pacific West Commercial Corp. falls through, according to a new report by the monitor handling the sale. But people with a stake in seeing the mill eventually reopen shouldn’t be alarmed, Mathew Harris of Ernst & Young said Monday, as it was part of the plan all along and the current sales process is “well on its way” to being successfully completed.
