Old Mill Gets Green Makeover
An historic, but rundown, mill in Lawrence, Massachusetts is being transformed into the nation’s largest green redevelopment project. The famous Wood Mill, once the largest textile mill in the world, will be converted into condominiums that use geothermal heat. Living on Earth’s Bruce Gellerman reports on the mill, and on Lawrence, past, present and future.
