MANTON â With his proposal tweaked a bit following a recent work session with city commissioners, Manton resident Chris Stronach is ready to once again present his vision for the historic Mill Pond area.
Stronach approached the commission last month with an idea to add a mini library, informational plaques, benches and other features to the mill pond. Once upon a time, a dam over Manton Creek swelled the Mill Pond waters, making it possible to fish and do other activities there. When this dam was removed in 2012 due to its deteriorated condition and other environmental factors, however, the Mill Pond shrunk significantly. Stronach said his goal was to âbridge the gapâ between peopleâs memories and how the Mill Pond area looks now.
