Property Highlights

One of the town's primary goals is to maintain the operating mill in the community and to preserve the 107 jobs at the mill. The current owner also plans to expand the workforce to meet expected demands.

Former Use: The site has historically been used for textile operations. The site was formerly owned and operated by the Amerbelle Corporation. The mill buildings on site were constructed between 1865 and 1869. The Amerbelle Corporation was in arrears in its sewer payments to the town, and was prepared to close its Vernon operations and bankruptcy in November 2003. To help preserve the business and its 107 jobs for the town, the town enlisted the Hockanum Industrial Development and Venture Corporation HIDVC to work with Amerbelle Corporation to transfer the property. The HIDVC is a non-profit corporation established by the Town of Vernon to take ownership of industrial properties within the town that have closed or are in danger of closing, and assist the town in maintaining productive uses of such sites. The site is currently owned by the HIDVC. The site is comprised of a northern and southern parcel. The 1.5 acre northern parcel is occupied by an approximately 42,700 square-foot mill complex. The northern parcel mill complex currently houses solvent and latex-based textile coating operations, the company�s industrial boiler systems, and storage areas. In addition to these operations, these latter buildings also house a Quality Control laboratory, various administrative offices, and the operations of Challenge Sailcloth, a tenant at the site. The 2.7-acre southern parcel is occupied by an approximately 54,500 square-foot two-story brick building, which currently houses textile dyeing and finishing operations.
