Today, Senators Ted Budd and Thom Tillis (Republicans NC), along with Congressman Chuck Edwards (R-NC) released a joint statement after the Pactiv Evergreen Paper Mill in Canton, NC shut down operations, calling it a heartbreaking situation. The three men say they have engaged with the Department of Labor to fast-track existing federal dollars for dislocated worker grants for those who have been impacted by the plant’s closure.
