RUSKIN (NEWS1130) – Good news for Ruskin mill workers.
Sixty people still have jobs even though the mill they worked at burned down over the weekend.
Even better, the temporary site they’ll be relocated to is just a 15 minute drive away.
The temporary site is about half the size, but Waldun Forest Products hopes to have the new mill up and running in the coming weeks.
President of the company Kirk Nagy says most employees from the old mill will still have jobs.
“We’re also looking at some of [the employees] may be able to work in other areas, including the clean-up,” he says. “We’ve had other great mill owners offer different positions and support to us.”
Nagy says investigators are looking at two possible issues that might have sparked the fire.
Walden Forest Products is already inquiring about building a new mill in the Ruskin area.
