Jay select board accepts $5,000 matching gift from Pixelle Specialty Solutions

SUN JOURNAL • March 16, 2023

The Select Board accepted an offer from Pixelle Specialty Solutions for a $5,000 cash match for economic development efforts. The offer, contained in a written letter of support, was made in light of this month’s closing of the Androscoggin Mill. Acceptance was with the understanding that the town would match the $5,000 to go toward economic development. The mill, the town’s largest private employer with about 230 workers, ceased operations March 6.
