Today, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) released the following statement regarding the announced closure of the Verso paper mill in Luke, Maryland:

“I am deeply disappointed with the Verso Corporation’s decision to close the paper mill in Luke, Maryland. Given the mill’s long history in the area and the years of dedicated service of its workers, this decision is even more frustrating. My office has already been in touch with local leaders, and Team Maryland is working together to identify resources for those impacted and the entire community during this time.”
