JAY — The town has received the second of three $10,000 contributions from Androscoggin Bank.
In December, bank representatives gathered at the Jay Town Office to deliver the $10,000 check, which supports the town’s workforce, community, economic and leadership development in response to the closure of Pixelle Specialty Solutions’ paper mill.
When the mill closed, it wasn’t just a business shutting down — it was livelihoods, families and the heart of a tight-knit community that were affected, according to a news release from the bank’s Josh Ricker.
The bank, headquartered in Lewiston, announced its $30,000 commitment in March 2023, pledging $10,000 annually over three years to aid the community’s recovery efforts.
