AMHERST Plans for the future of The Mill District include a view for its economic success that is grounded in the belief that by being selective about the tenant mix and supporting community and family-related, fun events, that property is poised for growth and economic sustainability.
So, it was fitting that The Mill District was the site Sunday for a Winter Solstice Celebration, open house and grand opening of Provisions a store that offers fine wine, craft beer, cheese and other specialty food.
Visitors also had the opportunity to greet author Angela Diterrlizzi and get a book signed; walk the Storywalk and read newly installed “Owl Moon” by Jane Yolen; snap a selfie at the new “What’s Your Story” mural; and chat with artist and University of Massachusetts Professor John Simpson and view his and his students’ artwork in the commercial space.
