A
Wausau Paper plant in the east-central Minnesota city of Brainerd might have a
potential buyer.
City
officials aren't releasing the name, but a purchase could be good news after
the mill's closure in April cost about 130 workers their jobs.
City
administrator Theresa Goble told the Brainerd Dispatch (http://bit.ly/17Hfdsa )
Wednesday that local officials will soon meet with the potential buyer "to
discuss options or alternatives that might be available to facilitate the
return of the mill to productive operations."
"We
hope it works out with the potential buyer," City Councilman Gary Scheeler
said. "To put a business in this plant would be extremely good news for
the area. It's too early to tell exactly what the outcome will be."
Wausau
Paper officials did not return the newspaper's phone call for comment.
