The government of Nova Scotia has announced a $124.5-million funding package in efforts to help resume operations at the idle NewPage Port Hawkesbury paper mill this fall. Premier Darrell said the funding would help the mill's prospective buyer, Pacific West Commercial Corp., turn the mill's fortunes around.
"The province has done its due diligence, and we are confident that it is the right plan," Dexter said.
"The mill has the most modern machine in North America and we are helping position it to take advantage of this and become a leader."
