WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to the announcement that Our Katahdin has purchased the former Great Northern Paper Mill site, U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King and Congressman Bruce Poliquin released the following statement: 

“This is outstanding news for Millinocket and for the entire Katahdin region,” Senators Collins and King and Congressman Poliquin said in a joint statement. “The purchase of the former mill will help relieve the town of a burden that it has had to bear for far too long, and it will finally allow innovators and entrepreneurs to come together, collaborate, and build a better, brighter future for the region. We commend Our Katahdin on this announcement and pledge to work with them in any way we can to support continued economic growth throughout the region.”
