Good News for the Miramichi and area

For the first time in along time, the Miramichi has some positive news about job opportunity's in the area.

The former UPM mill was bought by a Norwegian solar panel company last week.

Hopefully this will create more jobs for the area as most people in the Miramichi are moving out west to find work.

When UPM closed on December 15th last year over 500 jobs were lost. Deatils weren't fully released on how many job opening their would be as the terms wont be released until the end of the month when the final agreement is made.

Maybe this could be a major sponsor for the Miramichi Timberwolves? Who knows? Hopefully they will invest some money in the team to keep them afloat during this economic downturn.

Even investing some money in the City would be nice, but there are no guarentee's that will happen.

Also, Ocean Spray, The American Juice maker is looking to grow cranberries near Rogersville(about 30 minutes from Miramichi.)

According to the Miramichi Leader it could create 100 jobs and it will be the biggest cranberry producer in North America.

Some good news for a part of the province that has been struggling for quite sometime.

I Personally see this as good news for the region.

It's about time that we hear some good news after everything that has happend to the area since the mid 1990's.

It's been rough go for the Miramichi, but it finally looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel.
