Paper Mill Powers Blue Water Comeback

Port Huron’s paper mill is running again — and it’s bringing new jobs and momentum to the Blue Water Area. Legacy Port Huron Paper officially relaunched last week at the old Domtar site, with Governor Gretchen Whitmer joining local leaders to mark the comeback. A $24.5 million private investment and state support helped restart operations. The BMI Group plans to share the site’s steam and power systems among multiple businesses. About 40 workers are back on the job now, and that number could reach 200 by ’28 as production expands.
