Brand new 7 stop passenger elevator

New Elevator at mill

September 2, 2009- Sanford Mill

A brand new 7 stop passenger elevator has been installed at Millstone Place/ The Emery Street Mill in Sanford. Now passengers and tenants can very quickly and safely zip up over 100' to the top floor of the mill. Owner Eric Stone believes the $325,000 investment was the right move in making the upper floors more appealing to potential tenants. Walking up six flights of stairs daily for the last 5 years, Stone realized the need and importance of the upgrade -"It did keep me in great shape!". Northeast Elevator Services installed and services the 200 feet per minute unit.

The New Roadway gets Underway

September 4, 2009   72 Emery Street

A new connector road began from Emery Street to downtown Sanford this week. The road will open up access to The Mousam River and play an important role in redeveloping the mill yard.

After many, many delays, work crews from Shaw Brothers Construction broke ground and cleared the way. Brush clearing, grading, and moving earth began this month and work will continue through the winter. New water and sewer lines are also being installed. This upgrade will give great exposure and access to existing and new tenants, owner, Eric Stone believes that can only enhance the property. "We look forward to the upper floors being redeveloped and occupied with new roadway visibility and the addition of the new passenger elevator."
