For the North Country town of Groveton, 2007 was a year of tragedy and disappointment. In October, Wausau Paper announced plans to close its Groveton mill for good on December 31st. The closing means a loss of over 300 jobs for the area, and a recent report shows the economic impact of the closing will be felt far and wide.
