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.

They really missed that paper mill smell

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.
