Blair County paper mill operating since 1866 blames closing on COVID-19 pandemic
Updated Feb 16, 2021;
ROARING SPRING, Pa. A Pennsylvania paper mill that has been operating since 1866 will be closing its doors, idling nearly 300 workers.
The (Altoona) Mirror reports that Appvion Inc. officials announced Monday that its Spring Mill will be shutting down this spring, affecting 293 workers.
Stephen McKnight, president and chief executive officer of Altoona Blair County Development Corp, said the company has confirmed that they will cease operations in late March or April.
He said the news would be “devastating” for the local workforce and the community in the best economic times, but in the current global climate “it’s even worse.”
Help For Appvion Workers 11:56 pm
The century old Appvion paper mill announced on Monday they were closing their doors, leaving employees surprised at the news, and the loss of their jobs in the next coming months.
And local garage owner, Michael Walter says he wants to help ease the burden.
“The community has been such a blessing to me that if I can be a blessing in return in any little way, I want I do that.”
Walter says he too has faced hardships.
“I work for the government and their failure to pass consist budgets on time it left my family in a bind a lot of times. On a government salary when money gets tight, and then they stop paying you and you have to still go to work what are you going to do you can’t sign up for unemployment or anything, so I started this garage to fill that gap.”
