Sanford Mill Project Gets Funding

FostersNews.com:

In 2007, the Legislature passed the $5 million Riverfront Community Development Bond and Maine voters gave it their own stamp of approval in November of 2007.

The town will largely put the $675,000 toward the reinvention of the mill at 61 Washington Street. In September, the town took the mill by eminent domain from its previous owner, local developer Patrick Fagan, whose dreams of revitalizing the property for commercial and residential purposes ran into financial difficulties.
