Wood Science Professor in Report on Canadian Mill Opening
UMaine wood science professor Bob Rice was quoted in a Bangor Daily News story about a proposal to restart a paper mill in Nova Scotia with significant subsidies from the provincial government. Rice said should the mill open, the changes of the paper mill in Millinocket reopening would be greatly reduced. He also predicted the Canadian mill wouldn’t have a huge impact on Maine’s overall paper industry, but the effect wouldn’t go unnoticed.
