paper mill
Add category
Mead-owned Western Virginia Company, magical place of paper creation, carbon production, and bleachboard division. Home of what used to be the largest and second largest paper mill in the world, WestVaCo is the primary source of industry in Covington as some 30%+ of all economy is sourced by their paychecks. Since the Mead buyout many jobs have been eliminated forcing most residents into early retirement or to leave the area. (Now owned by West Rock)
