PUBLIC ADVERTISEMENT

In accordance with the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 30B, §16 the Town of Erving seeks written submissions to purchase and redevelop the so-called former International Paper Mill (Parcel ID: 4-0-32). The Town-owned site is located at 8 Papermill Road, Erving, MA 01344.  The Town hopes to hear from a variety of individuals and organizations who will present submissions for the redevelopment of the site.

The approximately 43.26 acre parcel has approximately 6 acres of developable land with quick access to Massachusetts Route 2 and Route 63.  The developable portion of the property is zoned Central Village and is serviced by public water and sewer.  The site is located along the Millers River and is a short distance from residential areas with a newly renovated park and the downtown of the Village of Millers Falls. Current assessment has the property valued at $1,485,200 (land / building).  The Town intends on subdividing the parcel to retain ownership of the undevelopable portion of the parcel for riverbank protection.

There are eight (8) main buildings on the property, many of which are divided into several sub-buildings identified in the feasibility study. The buildings’ conditions range from extremely poor to fair. The suitability of each building for rehabilitation is left to the discretion of the Proposer.
