Resolute Confirms Shutdown

Resolute Forest Products says 345 employees will be impacted when it takes production down at its kraft and paper mills in Fort Frances later this month.

Both mills will be temporarily halted for two weeks beginning October 28th

Resolute cites market conditions as the main reason.

The company says the halting of a contract for pulp with Boise's mill in International Falls is also seen as having an impact.
