A Delaware company wants to buy the Androscoggin paper mill and adjacent cogeneration facility from Pixelle Specialty Solutions and redevelop it for other industrial uses, according to an application filed to transfer state permits. The former pulp and paper mill stopped making paper in March after decades of production. JGT2 Redevelopment has applied with the state to have state permits/licenses for stormwater, wastewater discharge, air emissions, and solid waste transferred to JGT2. JGT2 proposes redeveloping the site for other industrial uses, according to the application. It wasn’t clear Friday what those other uses might be. The old pulp and paper mill equipment will be sold and repurposed where possible, according to the application. Unnecessary infrastructure will be demolished to prepare for new construction. The property will be divided and redeveloped into several new industrial uses. It wasn’t clear Friday what those other uses might be.
