Arnett said the company's closing affects 108 workers. He said he is meeting with Groveton officials to discuss the economic impact and with company officials to discuss the workers' future.
Arnett said the Groveton plant has a good reputation in the industry for its productivity. He said he wants to discuss with the company the option of someone else taking over its operations.
"Today's news that Groveton Paperboard plans to close in March is a tremendous loss for the economy of the North Country and our state and, most importantly, to the company's workers and their families," Lynch said. (New Hampshire) Union Leader
