A bankruptcy judge in Delaware on Friday granted a motion to move the pending bankruptcy of Great Northern Paper Co.’s East Millinocket operation to Maine, the Bangor (Maine) Daily News reported on Saturday. More than 20 creditors, including the towns of Millinocket and East Millinocket and the Maine attorney general, asked that the case be moved from Delaware to bankruptcy court in Maine because 56 percent of the 1,159 creditors are within the state. Attorneys for GNP objected to having the case moved from the state where the company was incorporated, in part, because a new trustee would have to be appointed to administer the case.
