A Blair County based business is getting a financial boost from Harrisburg as part of an effort to encourage companies to use recycled materials. The company behind the American Eagle Paper Mill in Tyrone has been given five hundred thousand dollars to improve the equipment needed for using recycled fibers in its paper making operations. The money will come from a State program administered by the Governor's office. An additional fifteen thousand tons of recycled paper every year will be used by the paper mill because of this grant. The program will mean that a lot of junk mail can be used in the paper making process in seated of going to the land fill and the effort is expected to help the paper mill reduce its operating expenses.
