Gardner MA Focuses on the Mill Street Corridor

Good news may be coming sooner than later in efforts to restore Mill Street in Gardner to the status of being worthy of a scenic drive. Recently, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts added the 10 acre Garbose lot to a new marketing platform featuring 100 properties statewide that are shovel ready and prime for strong development. Read more in our What’s Next Interview.

Contractor’s Building

Next month, the Gardner Conservation Commission will meet on January 9, 2023 to hold a Public Hearing continued on a request relating to 170 Mill Street. Contractor Mark Harasimowicz wishes to construct a contractor’s building on the property. Because the proposed work is located within the riverfront area, it falls under the purview of the Conservation Commission.
