Same shit in Maine. There was a woman up there who was buying a bunch of land in one area in order to donate it to the National Park system, and it pissed off a bunch of people who thought she was going to kill the paper mill comeback that they insisted was just around the corner.
As devastating as the pulp mill shutdown a few decades ago was to my old hometown, the air has never been cleaner. The mill was within walking distance of the downtown core because it started over a century ago and workers had to live within walking distance. Private automobiles were the height of luxury back then.

They really missed that paper mill smell
