Badger Paper Mills to Close

By Johnny Rodriguez

Peshtigo, WI – Nearly 100 employees at Badger Paper's Peshtigo Mill will lose their jobs by the end of the month. The mill is shutting down as a result of a failed sale. The Marinette county company considered filing for bankruptcy in June and has laid off half its workforce. Peshtigo mayor, Dale Berman, says it will be tough for mill workers to find comparable, good paying jobs in the area. The company says it's trying to find others interested in buying the mill.
