Paper Plant Projected near Butler Alabama
A Washington industrial official said plans are under study to build a 40 million dollar newsprint and kraft paper mill near Butler in southwest Alabama. The plant would produce 100000 tons of newsprint and 100000 tons of draft board annually, be designed as a publisher owned cooperative, and source output to cooperating publishers. Construction could start within months and finish in two years, with Choctaw county timberland owners pledged for timber, and Detroit’s J A Utley Co. contracted to build the mill. Meridian Chamber of Commerce and local officials are assisting in kickoff efforts.
