55 And Over Community Coming To Mill Race Inn Site

The days are now numbered for the once-grand Mill Race Inn on Buck Road in the village of Holland. After being shuttered for a quarter of a century - the victim of a flood back in 1999 - much of the now
dilapidated 14,000 square foot mill will be torn down with the balance of property redeveloped with a 33-unit age-restricted 55 and older community overlooking Mill Creek. In February, the Northampton Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve plans to redevelop
the longtime eyesore in the heart of Holland. READ MORE
