ST. MARYS - More federal funding has been approved to help the 900 Durango-Georgia Paper Company workers who lost their jobs last month. <br> <br> Federal labor officials approved the money after determining the workers lost their jobs because of increased foreign imports. <br> <br> The additional assistance will become available next month. It includes extended unemployment benefits, employment counseling, relocation assistance, education benefits and health insurance tax credits. <br> <br> The paper mill, which closed November 15, was one of Camden County&#39;s largest employers since 1941.
