Mill Stack Demolished With Hardly A Bang
Castine Patriot
|10/31/2019
BUCKSPORT—First reports from the police department told would-be onlookers that demolition of the tall pollution control stack at the site of the former paper mill would take place on October 29, between 6 and 10 a.m. So folks began to gather on the waterfront, along Main Street, and across the river at Fort Knox before daybreak on Tuesday.
Town officials acknowledged the significance of a major step in erasing the structures of the former paper mill, which ceased operation in 2014 after more than 80 years in business. They recommended that the public watch from the safe distance of Fort Knox in Prospect. The state historic site was open free of charge at 6 a.m. with restrooms and plenty of parking.
