Not long after a public meeting to discuss the EPA's proposal that the former Frenchtown Mill site be placed on the Superfund list, Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer announced his support for the designation.

President of Green Investment Group Raymond Stillwell responded to the Governor's announcement by saying his decision did not take the company by surprise, and that his affiliate company M2Green Redevelopment, LLC will continue to market the several thousand acres not affected by the EPA's investigation.

Stillwell says there are several parties interested in relocating at the former paper-mill site, and he is hopeful that the entire area can be successfully developed.

Since purchasing the property, M2Green Redevelopment has analyzed and repurposed many of the site’s assets, prepared a rail line agreement with Montana Rail Link and entertained interest from several prospects who believe the property has potential for their business expansion or relocation. Despite talk of a Superfund designation, M2Green Redevelopment is continuing with its redevelopment efforts and will soon announce a marketing strategy to promote the site to additional business and industrial prospects.
