The announced New Year’s Eve closing of the Wausau Paper Mill in the Northumberland village of Groveton, is the latest in a series of economic shocks to hit New Hampshire’s North Country. Along with the 2006 closings of the Groveton Paperboard Mill and Fraser Paper’s Burgess Pulp Mill in Berlin, it represents a continuation of a long downward trend in pulp and paper manufacturing employment in the region.
