Kruger has revealed the details of its planned $700 million investment in Corner Brook Pulp and Paper Limited, and it’s a big plan that involves a change in the way the mill makes paper and how it generates energy. Darren Pelley, Kruger’s vice-president of special projects, provided an overview of the project, which has been dubbed Project Tuckamore, during a luncheon meeting of the Greater Corner Brook Board of Trade at the Glynmill Inn in Corner Brook on Tuesday, July 14. Project Tuckamore is “a generational change,” and one that involves a major revitalization and investment in operations, Pelley said. “We are investing in the long-term future. Kruger is committed to the long-term operation of the mill here in Corner Brook but also all their operations for Deer Lake and the region,” said Pelley. “This project is something that is an investment in our community and is an investment for the long-term.”
