Irreversible water damage severely threatens mill. As of August 1999 - Mill still standing, but only because town didn't get state funds for demolition. No plans in place to adapt building as it is in such a deteriorated state with walls buckling into river and open roof. Too much damage - architect's study concurs. Prison facility expansion and building conversions threaten village.
Some structures are beyond repair.
MA correctional officials made additions to medium security facility, destroying one building. Of the seven remaining, six are offices and one is training center for correctional officers.
