BUCKSPORT (AP) — Officials in Bucksport are getting ready for the demolition of a paper mill that is set to be sold to a Canadian metal recycler.

WCSH-TV (http://bit.ly/1A1KRj8 ) reported the sale of the Verso paper mill is still pending, but Bucksport officials have amended a local ordinance regulating the demolition. Buyer AIM Development has not said what it plans to do with the mill, but the company bought another Verso mill in Minnesota in 2013 before dismantling it.

Officials say ordinances will require permits for large-scale demolition projects and outline environmental regulations. Verso recently shut down production on the mill, which employed more than 500 people.

A federal judge is expected to rule soon on a union’s antitrust lawsuit that seeks to block the sale of the mill to AIM Development.
