Residents of a small eastern Bay of Plenty town remain hopeful for the future despite its paper mill shutting up shop. Kawerau's Tasman Mill has been operating for 66 years.
It is set to close for good on Wednesday after its owners deemed it unviable, costing 160 jobs.
Jean Bell visited the town to see how locals are feeling.
