decision to install a new paper machine and associated equipment at its
Green Bay mill.
“My Grow Wisconsin plan included significant investments to upgrade and
expand our traditional industries,” Governor Doyle said. “Wisconsin has
been the number-one paper producer in the country for 50 years. To maintain
that leadership, I am pleased that we could help Procter & Gamble install a
new paper machine in Wisconsin for the first time in 35 years.”
