Two or three months ago, an agreement was reached among five parties that allowed the Grays Harbor paper mill at Hoquiam, Washington, to reopen. These five parties are: a group of local investors (who bought the paper mill), Weyerhaeuser Co. (which will market the mill's paper), ITT Rayonier Inc. and International Paper Co. (the former joint owners), Pope & Talbot (which will furnish pulp), and the Association of Western Pulp & Paper Workers (which has negotiated a new five-year contract). The pulp mill will be demolished.
The American Forest and Paper Association moved to Washington, DC, around August 5-10. The address is 1250 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20036 (202/463-2700).
Provincial Papers, which makes neutral coated freesheet paper in its Thunder Bay, Ontario, mill has been employee-owned since June 1. It is no longer a division of Abitibi-Price.
