Shuttered Wausau Paper Plant in Minnesota has Potential Buyer

A Wausau Paper plant in the east-central Minnesota city of Brainerd might have a potential buyer. City officials aren't releasing the name, but a purchase could be good news after the mill's closure in April cost about 130 workers their jobs.

"We hope it works out with the potential buyer," City Councilman Gary Scheeler said. "To put a business in this plant would be extremely good news for the area. It's too early to tell exactly what the outcome will be."
