NMTC financing was a key piece of allowing for the investment in two tissue machines in Baileyville ,ME starting up in 2016. This added employment for 85 new people and helped retain over 300 jobs at the associated on site pulp mill. This area of the State has not seen an investment this large since the 1960’s and without the NMTC financing the project likely would not have taken place. We encourage Congress to support the continuation and expansion of this program.
