New Furniture Plant to Open in New Lebanon
Don Milne Associates, a furniture maker, plans to start protection around Oct 15 at the former Til den mill site in New Lebanon. Initial staffing pegged at about 48 workers with gradual expansion as materials and machinery arrive. Showrooms will follow, with Route 20 traffic offering a view of the plant. A brush-burning incident Saturday involved the Lebanon Valley Protective Association to control fires from two demolished houses. A Republican Club Sworgashord event at Inn at the Shaker Mill was moved to Oct 24, with a Town Hall meeting tonight at 8. Mrs Callahan was transferred from Berkshire Medical to Albany Medical Center by the association ambulance.
