CT town gets $2M state grant for project aiming to redevelop historic mill into housing  

The cleanup and redevelopment of a former Connecticut mill site has taken a step forward.

After an investigation and testing found need for additional funding and work, the town of Vernon has been awarded a $2 million grant for further cleanup and redevelopment of the former Daniel’s Mill at 98 East Main St. in Vernon, officials said.

The grant was sought at the behest of Mayor Dan Champagne, who has sought “to redevelop Rockville’s mills and repurpose them for Vernon’s future,” officials said.
