Recycle Bin Placement

Good afternoon neighbors,

The COA has approved an upcoming project to replace a section of asphalt near the recycling bins due to wear and tear from heavy trash and recycling trucks driving weekly on it.

In an attempt to reduce, by half, this wear and tear, we have moved the recycling bins to the western part of the lower Wachovia lot near the creek. You may have to take a few more steps to get to the recycling bins, but this will prevent us from spending unnecessarily on continuous asphalt deterioration and restoration. We will assess over the next few weeks f this is a viable place for the bins moving forward.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

The Board of The Mill at Tar Branch

We Reached Our Goal!

Successful “Neighbor-sourcing” the Cost of Bronze Plaques Celebrating The Mill’s Historical Significance

The Board is proud and delighted to announce that we achieved our fundraising goal for this project in less than one week! Many thanks to those steadfast Owners who answered the call [or the email or text or the parking lot conversation], inviting their support. Their donations spurred us on to realize almost 100% Owner participation. What we do together will make a difference. Yay us!

The plaques have been ordered and should be building-mounted in 5 – 8 weeks.

Help “Neighbor-source” the Cost of Bronze Plaques Celebrating The Mill’s Historical Significance

PLEASE JOIN OWNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY DONATED

The National Park Service approved listing the Indera Mills complex on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, recognizing its role in the broad textile industry development that occurred in Winston-Salem in the early years of the twentieth century. To acknowledge and herald this honor, the Board has unanimously approved mounting handsome bronze plaques on Building 1, Building 2, Building 3, and Unit 155.

THIS IS NOT A COA-FUNDED PROJECT.

Rather, we are asking those of us who live and work in this unique community to share the cost.

TOTAL COST $1,215

Apologies in advance!

Bucky Dennis

It is with heavy hearts that the Board makes known that longtime resident Bucky Dennis passed away last night. He and his wife Nancy are among the very first owners at The Mill. For many years together they added so much enthusiasm, warmth, and steadfast loyalty to our neighborhood. Bucky will be greatly missed.
