The owners of a mill complex in Berlin and Gorham have announced the mills are shutting down for good. Employees who had been on a temporary layoff since late summer are now being laid off permanently. Berlin Mayor Bob Danderson says the mill?s parent company is due to present a reorganization plan to a bankruptcy court on October 26th. Many Berlin residents hope the mills will eventually be sold. Danderson told NHPR?s Trish Anderton the permanent layoffs may help some millworkers get more assistance from the federal government.
