On Sunday, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner met with local and business officials in Franklin. Afterward, he vowed to lobby the company to rethink the shutdown.
"I don't want to create any false hope, but we should have some effort to say, 'Is there any way we could encourage the company to reconsider this decision?' " Warner said.
That won't happen, International Paper spokesman Desmond Stills said in an e-mail. "The decision is to permanently close the Franklin mill," he wrote.
In the e-mail, Stills said International Paper "is not considering selling the property" immediately. In an interview, he did not say why the company, based in Memphis, Tenn., would keep the property, at least for the short term.
"At this point, it's just too early to speculate what might be a viable option for the property in the future," Stills said.
In the interview, he said he could not say whether the company might eventually hire people in a different capacity at the site.
Stills provided more details on the phased shutdown.
Of the four machines at the plant, one will close by Nov. 7, though some employees might work "past that date for several weeks," he said in the e-mail. Another machine will stop by the end of the year, and the remaining two will cease operation "by the spring of 2010."
