For more than 100 workers, today will be the last day on the job at the International Paper mill outside Franklin.
International Paper announced in October that it would close the mill this year, laying off 1,100 employees. The mill stopped producing paper two weeks ago and is phasing out workers through June.
It now has more than 800 workers, spokesman Desmond Stills said in an e-mail. “Today, April 30, is the last day for 106 employees,” he wrote.
The mill will continue shipping paper from the mill through mid-June and will then begin a final clean-up, he said.
