Arcadia Paper Mills, LLC, and the City of St. Helens has completed the purchase/sale of the former Boise paper mill located in St. Helens, in Oregon. The purchase of the mill and property by Arcadia Paper Mills, LLC, is described as the first step in a major investment by the company to activate the industrial property and return local manufacturing jobs to St. Helens.
Arcadia Paper Mills, LLC, is a company based in St. Helens, Oregon. Arcadia will manufacture paper towel and napkin at the paper mill. Arcadia has already hired 15 employees from the local community to repair the mill infrastructure.
The City of St. Helens started working with Arcadia Paper Mills, LLC, in April 2024 to divest the mill site. Arcadia Paper Mills, LLC, was formed by a group of investors and industry experts to acquire and restart the papermill located in St. Helens.
The St. Helens Industrial Business Park where the mill is located is part of the City’s ongoing Waterfront Redevelopment Project efforts.
“Arcadia Paper Mills’ investment will bring family-wage manufacturing jobs back to St. Helens,” said St. Helens City Administrator John Walsh, as quoted by The city of St. Helens. “It reflects the progress we’re making to reactivate the industrial waterfront and grow our local economy.”
The Industrial Park is a 205-acre industrial property that the City of St. Helens acquired from Boise White Paper Mill in 2015.
