Could spell the end for them. As my friend always says, "When they sell the hydro its lights out." NewPage did just that with their hydro assets in Rumford. Not sure what kind of a position that puts the mill in.
I sincerely hope this brings better fortunes to Verso, Rumford, Jay, Bucksport and the 2 branches in existence for the Verso mills.
