Senator Moreno: Chillicothe Paper Mill closure paused till end of year
CHILLICOTHE ― U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) had a hopeful message for the community on Friday when he announced on X, formerly Twitter, that the closure of the paper mill would be paused until the end of the year. Speaking to a large crowd near the mill, he said, "We're going to find a company that's willing to come to Chillicothe and invest in people first.' More: Chillicothe businesses are banding together to support paper mill employees 'I am confident that this mill will not only survive next year, but for the next 200 years in this community.' Pixelle Specialty Solutions had announced the closure earlier this week, which would affect approximately 800 employees. The mill has been part of the community for more than 200 years. DeWine said state and local leaders were already working to find a new company to take over the mill — and they now have more time to do so. 'We cannot guarantee you that, but we're all in this together,' DeWine said. 'Nobody can come down here and walk around and talk to the people in this crowd and not think, 'My, we've got to do something.'' Chillicothe Mayor Luke Feeney said he is very relieved at this news. "Well, I will say that my first thoughts are with the families that get a little bit of time now," Feeney said. "I hope Easter weekend will be a little more relaxing for them." Feeney said he hopes this news gives workers optimism for the future. "I'm very grateful to the team, state, the governor, and senators who got the pause for us," Feeney said. "I'm looking forward to digging in Monday to keep this thing open and fighting like hell." We will continue to update this story throughout the day.
