Getting back to my photojournalism roots a bit, last week I was hired by Cork Tree Creative<\/a> to photograph a press conference with Governor Brian Schweitzer and Ray Stillwell at the old Smurfit-Stone mill site to announce Green Investment Group, Inc.’s (GIGI) acquisition of the site. This is the seventh Smurfit-Stone paper mill acquired since 2006 by GIGI, an Alton, Illinois-based company that acquires and redevelops Brownfield sites throughout North America. (A Brownfield site is an abandoned or underutilized industrial or commercial site that is well-positioned for redevelopment.)<\/p>\n

Plans for the future use of the Missoula site are currently being formulated and will continue during the course of the coming months.\u00a0 As plans are finalized, work will focus on clean-up and reconfiguration of the site to analyze the potential use of the existing facilities and land.<\/p>\n

Ray Stillwell, principal of Green Investment Group, Inc., stated, \u201cThe Missoula property offers many opportunities for continued progress in the region. As with all of our projects, our main goal is to work with the community and local officials to develop a site that complements the other industries in the area and meets the economic needs and interests of its people by creating jobs in sustainable growth industries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gov. Brian Schweitzer commented, \u201cGreen Investment Group has a proven track record of investing the necessary funds to save the industrial infrastructure and create good-paying jobs.\u00a0 We welcome them to Montana.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks again to Cork Tree Creative<\/a> and Ray Stillwell for contracting me for the shoot. It was nice to hang with the press folks again and make some images for you of this event. I look forward to working with you again in the future!<\/p>\n
