THIS DRAWING IS PART OF A STUDENT PROJECT AND IS NOT BASED ON A LEGAL SURVEY. All of the Usher Mills project goals are in harmony with the goals and objectives of the Town of Erving 2002 Master Plan and the 2010 Open Space and Recreation Plan. These guides provide a framework for decisions dealing with land uses that may impact valuable natural resources and the lands that contain unique historical, recreational, and scenic values. Goals and objectives of the two plans that relate to the Usher Mills site include • Prioritize Town-sponsored land protection projects that conserve forestland, drinking water, streams and ponds, open fields, scenic views, wildlife habitat, river access and wetlands. • Develop multi-user (walking, hiking, bicycling, cross-country skiing) trail systems that tie into existing ones (e.g. the trail connecting Erving Center and Farley along the Millers River in Wendell), which can be safely accessed from publicly owned land or private lands with trail easements. • Support the Recreation Commission to be more effective in providing needed recreational facilities and programming for all of Erving’s residents, especially teens, adults, and seniors. • Improve access to parks and open space by the physically disabled and the elderly. • Identify, promote and help protect historically significant areas and landscapes, such as cemeteries and historic structures. • Seek to permanently protect from development all lands that contain unusual plant communities and rare and endangered species habitat. Originally developed as a grist mill in 1837, the Usher Mills property has been the site for various manufacturing activities. The oldest buildings on the site were constructed in 1916 by the Heywood Wakefield Furniture Company. The Fred Meers Shoe Company ran the mill complex until the mid-1950s when Erving Paper Mills purchased and operated the Usher plant until 1990. After fire destroyed two of the three original mill structures in 2007, the complex was designated a brownfield due to asbestos contamination. Neglected and abandoned, Usher Mills offers an exceptional opportunity for revitalizing the riverfront, community, and region. The Town of Erving is committed to redevelopment of this resource and has identified these goals for the project. PROJECT GOALS To explore potential uses for the former Usher Mills property that will... •DEVELOP PUBLIC OPEN SPACE •RENOVATE HISTORIC MILL STRUCTURE •STIMULATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & INCREASE TOURISM •PROVIDE CONNECTIVITY TO FARLEY & ERVINGSIDE The Millers River looking west Design Alternatives for the Reuse of Karen H.

THIS DRAWING IS PART OF A STUDENT PROJECT AND IS NOT BASED ON A LEGAL SURVEY. “The Town of Erving is unique in the region because it combines an industrial heritage with large tracts of 2 protected forestland. From the Connecticut River Valley in the west, to the steep hills of the Erving State Forest 4 in the east, Erving has much to lose if its combination of historic and scenic resources is not protected for future generations. “ 3 Town of Erving 2002 Master Plan Bounded by mountains to the north and the Millers River to the south, Erving stretches ten miles east to west but 1 Erving only two miles north to south. The town’s three villages are fragmented due to limited transportation corridors. About 1500 people live in Erving’s 14 square miles.

  • Connecticut River Canals Projected but Never Finished
    Connecticut River Canals Projected But Never Finished Besides the six canals that were built on the Connecticut River, there were, during the period of navigation, a number of other canals strongly discussed and some chartered at different places but not built until the bubble of river navigation burst. In 1825, the War Department had sent an engineer to Barnet who had surveyed three different routes from there to Canada. At large expense, and resulting from mass meetings of citizens held in different localities, surveys were made for a system of canals from Wells River over the Green Mountains to Montpelier, thence down the Winooski to Lake Champlain; from the Merrimac, near Concord, up the Pemigewassett to Wentworth, N. H., and then across to the Connecticut in the town of Haverhill, N. H.; from Concord to Claremont, via the Contocook and Sugar Rivers; from the mouth of Millers River, near Greenfield, to Boston; up the Deerfield Valley to the present Hoosac Tunnel, where the mountain was to be cut through and Troy, reached via the Hoosac River, there to connect with the arteries of canals then being constructed, and thus reaching all parts of the country. A canal was already being constructed northward from New Haven, Conn., to Northampton, Mass. A Canal At Brattleboro In the office of the Secretary of State of New Hampshire is to be seen an act of incorporation for a dam and canal near Brattleboro, evidently intended to avoid the rapid water just below the bridge, which, it is needless to say, was never constructed. The act chartered "The Connecticut River Canal Company," the incorporators being Richard Kimball, Elias Lyman, Amos A.
