The Daniels Mill project is part of the Rockville Mill Complex project, a program to remediate, repurpose and adaptively reuse the mills for the 21st Century. The overall project includes Daniel’s Mill, the former Amerbelle Mill and the former Anocoil facility.
Daniel’s Mill, at 98 East Main St., is the specific topic for the Feb. 17 meeting. Residents can ask questions about project. Remediation of Daniels Mill is scheduled to begin shortly.
The town has been awarded a $650,000 grant by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
A licensed environmental professional will attend to address questions about the cleanup process. Shaun Gately, Vernon’s director of development services, will answer questions about the overall project.
The Town of Vernon is working with Camden Management Partners of Atlanta, Georgia to redevelop the adjoining mills in downtown Vernon.
The site plan for the mill complex calls for 110,000 square feet of residential units, 20,000 square feet of commercial space and associated parking. A restaurant and event space are planned for the commercial space.
“These mills are an important part of Vernon’s history and my goal is to make them an important part of our future,” Vernon Mayor Dan Champagne said. “This project will be transformational for Vernon. We will continue to work with the state and federal government to keep moving this project forward.”
