Workers who lost their jobs after the explosion at the paper mill in Jay last spring can enroll for free at two nearby community colleges to help them find new jobs. Pixelle Specialty Solutions, the mill owner, and the Maine Community College System announced Friday that 177 displaced workers have until next July to access the free classes. “This is an incredible $1 million gift to the people affected and the entire region. We’re eager to welcome these students and get them the training they need for their next step,” David Daigler, president of the community college system, said.
