Harbor Paper Closure Not Permanent

Harbor Paper has postponed the full restart of the mill, but staff said that it is not permanent. They say that reports that start-up has been delayed ‘indefinitely” are not accurate.
The company announced last week that the scheduled restart for this Monday had to be postponed.
Owner Cesar Scolari told employees they will be postponing their start up saying ““Please be assured that we continue to work diligently towards a comprehensive strategy that will accomplish this goal as soon as possible.”
Harbor Paper announced in February that they are cutting back production heavily while they adjusted their management. They told employees that Harbor Paper’s Board made the decision to do a wholesale management change at the mill.
They say that they plan to restart full operations and hope that these changes will improve the viability of the mill as a long term enterprise.
