Not even sure if they'll begin by July 4th. What actually becomes of the site is now a hotly contested issue. A local big-bucks developer had originally offered to buy the site from Stimson, then sell it to the local college for expansion. But folks are now talking out about the cost, saying the college could expand on other property at far less cost, and that the city would lose out on taxes that could otherwise be generated from that site by other businesses. Not that this debate will necessarily delay the demolition of the mill, but if past mill demos on the branch are any indication, it may be a few more weeks until there's anything torn apart and ready to haul out. I recall seeing the auction for equipment takes place later in June.
