EASTHAMPTON A site long recognized for its abandoned, dilapidated mill buildings is on the rise as a private developer continues renovations of the 1 Ferry St. mill complex while the city makes road and utility upgrades to the area.
The $45 million project to redevelop the 310,000-square-feet mill complex at 1 Ferry St. bolstered by the city’s improvements to the area’s roads “completes the Mill District,” said Easthampton Mayor Nicole LaChapelle. “It’s kind of the capstone of the Mill District.”
