Gov. Janet Mills joined executives Thursday from Belfast-based GO Lab Inc. and others for a ceremony that officials said marked the return of wood products manufacturing to the former Madison Paper Industries mill. Cianbro construction of Pittsfield is set to install three manufacturing lines that will produce three types of wood-fiber insulation that GO Lab refers to as TimberHP. GO Lab officials expect to employ 120 workers at the mill, with more jobs expected by the end of this year. Madison Paper Industries shuttered its operations in May 2016. TimberHP is a wood-fiber insulation meant for the residential and light commercial construction markets.
