According to northjersey.com, nearly three months after a devastating 10-alarm fire destroyed most of the Marcal Paper Mill, the company's chief executive officer said he is open to starting anew in the borough.

Rob Baron, president and CEO of Marcal parent company Soundview Paper, said in a statement that he has been working with borough officials to restore utilities on the site and assess the viability of restarting operations in the borough. The company did not elaborate on which operations would be revived.

"While it is too soon to comment with certainty, we have begun exploring options for a successful restart in Elmwood Park." Baron said. "We are still very much in cleanup and recovery mode."
