It's been months since the owners of Harbor
Paper in Hoquiam have had anything substantive to say publicly about the fate
of their mothballed mill, and local unemployment officials are advising laid
off employees to treat no news as bad news and look for new jobs.
WorkSource Grays Harbor hosted a series of "rapid response" meetings for the unemployed mill workers Tuesday to inform them of their unemployment benefit rights. It's been nearly five months since the mill was shut down, and the company has been silent regarding future plans. WorkSource Manager Ron Schmidt said workers need to start operating under the assumption that Harbor Paper isn't going to re-open.
