Located in Baileyville, Maine, St Croix Tissue was once a bright spot in the small town for almost a century. In 2001, the mill was resold again to Canadian paper company Domtar. In the late 1980s, there were 1,200 people working in the pulp, paper, and oriented strand board plants in the area. John Williams, president of the Maine Pulp and Paper Association, said in an interview that with today's digital age, demand for most grades of paper products continues to drop, however, there is a steadily rising demand for toilet and tissue paper that goes with population growth. "(St. Croix Tissue) is bringing back what Maine was very, very strong in - the paper industry," said Maine Governor Paul LePage.
