Demolition is continuing on the former Franklin Boxboard building Tuesday, August 27, 2019 in Franklin.
After more than a century in operation, The Newark Group closed the paper mill and cut about 80 jobs in 2011. The former 170,000- to 200,000-square-foot paper mill was purchased by B.P. Logan LLC in 2012 but never reopened.
The facility was purchased by Middletown-based Cohen USA in 2017. Last November, Cohen USA announced it was closing its recycling center in Franklin and moving those jobs to Middletown. It also announced it would demolish the former Mindlin Recycling Center and the former Boxboard plant. NICK GRAHAM / STAFF
