The Sartell Paper Mill, officially the Verso Paper Sartell Mill, is a paper mill located in the city of Sartell in the U.S. state of Minnesota. The mill is owned by Verso Paper. On may 29, 2012, there was an explosion at the paper mill that resulted in a large fire. It killed one man and injured 4 others. It took fourteen fire departments to put out the fire. The mill has been around longer than the city of Sartell. Sadly, on August 2, 2012, Verso announced that the Sartell mill would remain shut down permanently, putting about 260 employees out of work and ending over a century of papermaking in Sartell.
Famous quotes containing the words paper and/or mill:
“What presence must not know,
From where you do remain let paper show.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff of any degree of fineness; but nevertheless, what you get out depends upon what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat- flour from peascods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
