GREEN BAY (WLUK) -- Green Bay Packaging’s new paper mill will start operations Monday, according to the company.

Bryan Hollenbach, executive vice president, provided the update on the $500 million facility during a NEW North forum Thursday.

“It is another commitment to Green Bay, Wisconsin, and it really establishes the legacy, re-establishes the legacy, of Green Bay Packaging in this area,” Hollenbach said.

Construction started in 2018. At one point, there were 1,200 people working at the construction site, he said.
