Owner Norske Skog has confirmed it'll close the Bay of Plenty site by the end of the month, after consultations with its staff.
The company says a decline in the newsprint industry, has led to the closure of the Tasman Mill, and the sale of its assets.
Kawerau Mayor Malcolm Campbell is concerned for those about to become unemployed.
He says there aren't a lot of jobs in the area, that offer the same sort of money as the mill.
