JAY, Maine (AP) The owner of the Androscoggin paper mill is cutting another 51 jobs, bringing the total to 110 workers laid off since an explosion in April.
Pixelle Specialty Solutions, headquartered in Pennsylvania, continues to develop its long-term plan after the mill lost its pulp operation because of the blast.
Paper-making machines were not affected.
The paper mill employed about 500 people in November; there are now about 345 workers.
