Resident urges council to address condition of Ye Olde Amherst Mill and requests minor park repairs
Summary
A resident asked the Amherst council about the status of the historic Ye Olde Amherst Mill and praised improvements at Old Mill Park, requesting a minor repair to a trail swing. The council acknowledged the comments and thanked staff for park work.
At the Jan. 14 meeting, resident Sam Sulger told the council he was representing the Widener family in asking what the town could do about the condition of the historic Ye Olde Amherst Mill. Sulger said the mill is a special property and urged the council to consider action that would allow the family to preserve the site.
Sulger also praised recent improvements at Old Mill Park and highlighted volunteer or school contributions to trail work, but asked the town to consider a small repair to a tree swing that he said looked “a bit ragged.” Council members thanked Sulger and echoed appreciation for the park and staff work; no formal action was taken at the meeting on the mill.
