Governor Paul LePage said Friday company from China is talking about buying one of Maine’s pulp and paper mills.
The Governor told an international trade conference in Rockport he has met with the company –which he wouldn’t name– and while there are no commitments yet, said they are very interested in Maine. He said it would be one more example of how Maine is expanding international trade, especially with Asia. Canada is the state’s biggest export market, but Asia is second.
