Last April, workers of the Pixelle Specialty Solutions paper mill were learning of the planned shutdown of the 215-year-old mill. On Good Friday of 2025, Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno was one of several government officials who led a rally for mill workers, announcing H.I.G. Capital, which had purchased the mill in 2022, would delay the shutdown. The delay allowed elected officials to design what would be considered a Plan B. The news of the delay gave new hope that the mill might survive. However, that hope was dashed when the plant closed its doors four months later. Nearly 900 workers were impacted and about 600 were losing much of their defined pensions, some by as much as 50% according to Timothy Jenkins, former Vice President of the United Steel Workers Local 731. An agreement was reached with H.I.G. Capital on a pledge of $5.5-million to be paid to those paper mill workers. Moreno was in Chillicothe to announce the first installment of $1-million has been made. Moreno announced 569 workers will receive a check for an average of just under $2,000. “I want to thank the Foundation for Appalachia for their hard work” said Moreno. “They were the one community organization that stepped up and said ‘We’re gonna figure out how to do this.’ The million dollars is in their bank account.” Recipients will receive a letter in the mail with a W9 form. Once the paperwork is filled out and returned, checks will be delivered. “Once the foundation gets that back, they’ll process a check” said Moreno. “Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cut Bill that we (Congress) passed last year, that will be completely tax-free.” Follow Litter Media on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LitterMedia/ X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/litter_media Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/littermedia/ #LitterMediaLIVE #littermedia.com #Dan&Mike Have a story suggestion?
