GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. (AP) - A 150-year-old paper mill is set to close in June, a move that will mean the loss of about 140 jobs in this Berkshire County town.The Great Barrington mill was one of four plants owned by Fox River Paper and purchased last week by Neenah Paper Inc., based in Alpharetta, Ga.Neenah CEO Sean Erwin said the mill, which produced 15,000 tons of paper a year, was too small to turn a profit.'Closing the mill allows us to eliminate costs and improve margins while still serving the needs of key customers,' he said.Bill McCarthy, a vice president for Neenah, said there were no plans to announce more mill closings.Copyright 2007 Associated Press.
