Shutdown is the buzzword of late, whether indefinite or temporary remains to be seen. Similar picture in Port St. Joe where Stone and Box USA each own a 50-percent stake in the Florida Coast mill. As if the shutdown was not enough to contend with, now it appears Four M's chairman, Dennis Mehiel is selling out to a Mexico-based company, but not before he personally buys his company's stake in Florida Coast. The paper mill has become a rumor mill. The words are flying through the community in Port St. Joe, Panama City, Franklin County and elsewhere.
Truth is, the rumor mill is working well, almost too well.
It's just another example of hard work being completed during the summer.
