Part of Camas paper mill to shut down, between 280 and 300 jobs lost

Georgia-Pacific on Tuesday announced it plans to shut down several operations at its Camas mill and cut up to 300 jobs. Between 120 and 140 jobs will remain at the mill, which opened in 1885 and in the 1980s employed around 2,400. “The paper mill is the reason Camas exists,” said Peter Capell, city administrator. “The biggest concern we have about this is the people.
