Property Highlights

The Eastern Manufacturing Facility started operation in April 2008 and is now in full swing. The community impact of this project is tremendous. Every single one of our citizens was negatively impacted by the closing of the Eastern Fine Paper mill and now that the property has been redeveloped every citizen will now benefit from the property�s renewed vitality. Major positive impacts to the community from this project include the following: � Jobs � The new Eastern Manufacturing Facility will immediately create 500 new, high paying jobs with potential employment levels up to 1,000. � Community Investment - The project is estimated to generate over $50 million in investment for the community through use of local vendors and suppliers, salaries, and other support services (hotel, restaurants, stores) required to service the facility and its employees. � Taxes � The taxes generated by Cianbro�s investment in the property will serve as a significant boost to the City of Brewer tax rolls. � Community Pride � The redeveloped Eastern Fine Paper site can not only serve as a reminder of our proud industrial heritage, it can now serve as a vision of the future for the community of Brewer.

Former Use: The Eastern Fine Paper site was originally developed in the late 1700s as a sawmill operation. The manufacture of paper pulp began on the site in 1889 as a way to dispose of waste wood from its sawmill operations. Seven years later the Eastern Manufacturing Company began paper manufacturing there. For years it produced high quality paper goods including manila and wrapping papers in the 1890�s, boxes in the 1930�s, and alkaline papers in the 1980�s. It provided many of the jobs in South Brewer and, for most of its existence, was the largest property taxpayer in Brewer as well as largest sewer user in Brewer. In September of 2000, Eastern Pulp & Paper, Eastern Fine Paper�s parent company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. It never emerged from Chapter 11, and on January 14, 2004, Eastern Fine Paper ceased operation, sent its employees home, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and the Brewer mill was left vacant.
