wausau paper mill

A Wausau Paper plant in Brainerd might have a potential buyer. City officials aren't releasing the name, but a purchase could be good news after the mill's closure in April cost about 130 workers their jobs.

Wausau Paper Corporation plans to divest two of its mills in Wisconsin and one in Minnesota. The mills up for sale are in Mosinee and Rhinelander as well as Brainerd, Minnesota. Those three mills make paper used for packaging, the food industry, linings and masking tape.
