[MassHistPres] "Bringing New Life to Mills" - Free Workshop

[Joanna_Doherty at nps.gov]

Bringing New Life to Mills

What can municipalities do to encourage the re-use of mills?  What attracts
developers?  Learn about planning and zoning tools, plus sources of public
funding that can turn eyesores into assets.  See a successful redevelopment
project for yourself by joining us for an optional pre-workshop tour,
beginning at 5:45 p.m.  Featuring Carolyn Britt, Community Investment
Associates; Michael Collins, Chair, Hopedale Board of Selectmen; and Steve
Stowell, Administrator, Lowell Historic Board.
