On Monday evening, employees of the Canton paper mill were hit with devastating news - the mill will be closing this summer. Pactiv Evergreen, the parent company, called a meeting with managers to deliver the news, but the word quickly spread before the meeting was even over. Hourly workers were still learning about the closure as the news circulated.

With roughly 1,200 workers employed at the mill, this announcement will have a significant impact on the community. The main plant in Canton has around 900 workers, with between 200-300 employed at the satellite facility in Waynesville. The mill has been a mainstay of Haywood County's economy for nearly 120 years, making the announcement of its closure all the more devastating.
