Revival of Grey Hosiery Mill Drives Seventh Avenue Growth
City council approves a loan repayment plan and streetscape upgrades between Grove and Main to link Main Street downtown with Seventh Avenue via the Grey Hosiery Mill project. Councilman Steve Caraker, longtime advocate, predicts work through 2020, with water sealing and roof repairs posing main challenges as Belmont Layer’s hotel idea fades. The mill project turns the historic site into a construction zone and a potential catalyst for district revitalization.
