You are correct. Myra's family owned it. I've heard some different versions of the story and honestly never been interested enough to look up details, but I believe he basically organized a takeover of the mill with some investor friends and shut the old man out. Then built a new mill, with a big chunk of state incentive money to clean up the river. (We don't discharge anything there, ever, but the old plant was notoriously bad and it was known locally as the Rainbow River.) Then once running in 1994 it was used to leverage the Patriots buyout, along with other factors. In 2005 more state utility incentives came along and we built a gas turbine to power the plant. We make lots of money for them and we are a very efficient little paper mill. Your tax dollars have helped!
