With
just hours to go before the scheduled closure of the $8.6 million sale of the
Catalyst Paper Elk Falls site, a cone of silence smothers efforts to confirm
the status of the deal.
The
sale was announced Aug. 16 and was first scheduled to complete by Sept. 5,
however, the date came and went with Catalyst scrambling to clear the property
of valuable leftovers. At that time, Brown told the Mirror the closing date for
the sale had been extended to Sept. 19.
