Centreville officials are considering taking action regarding the long-discussed demolition of the town's mill, a topic that has generated significant public interest and some confusion. During the recent town meeting, council members addressed the need to potentially accept a bid for the demolition, emphasizing the importance of clarity in communication with the community.
The discussion centered on the current status of the mill's demolition process. The property owner had previously engaged a contractor to handle the teardown, but complications arose when their relationship deteriorated. After a period of uncertainty, the owner has now secured a new contractor, although this individual specializes in woodworking rather than demolition.
Council members expressed concern over the misinformation circulating in the community about the mill's status. They highlighted the need for transparency and accurate updates as the situation evolves. The new contractor is expected to dismantle the building carefully, focusing on removing installations rather than a straightforward demolition.
As the town navigates this process, officials are committed to keeping residents informed and ensuring that the mill's future is handled with care and consideration. The council's proactive approach aims to clarify the situation and address community concerns, paving the way for a resolution that respects the town's history while moving forward with necessary changes.
