NEENAH, Wis. (AP) A Neenah paper mill with about 300 employees is closing, officials with Clearwater Paper Corp. announced Monday.
The Fox Valley facility is transitioning from its away-from-home tissue business and plans to shut down in July, officials said.
“Despite the best efforts of our dedicated employees, our Neenah location and assets cannot cost effectively compete in the markets that we serve,” said Arsen Kitch, president and chief executive officer. “This was a difficult decision, because it affects our people, their families and the Neenah community.”
The company says it will work closely with the union and state employment agencies to help employees receive training to find new jobs.. The company will also offer career assistance services for employees.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) New guidance from Gov. Tony Evers administration says people vaccinated for COVID-19 will no longer be required to wear masks in the state Capitol and most other state facilities beginning on June 1.
The updated guidance for state government follows advice from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that those who are fully vaccinated can go without masks and can forgo social distancing for most indoor and outdoor activities.
The new state recommendations say all unvaccinated individuals, including both state employees and members of the public, should continue to wear face coverings while in state facilities. Also, unvaccinated employees are required to wear masks in other enclosed buildings while on state business.
