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

The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation’s notable places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America’s historic and archeological resources.

October 12 B3 Construction Noise

There will be construction noise starting tomorrow.

On the morning of Wednesday, October 12th, renovation work begins on the Toccis’ Kitchen (Unit 323). The worst of the noise is expected during the first day of demolition.

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.

Kevin Mathews

The Mill at Tar Branch COA Board is sad to share that Kevin Matthews passed away on June 28 following a short illness. Kevin and his wife Kathy co-own Matthews Services, a company that has long provided high-quality cleaning for our community buildings. Please don’t hesitate to express your condolences if you see Kathy on the property. 

Read more about Kevin in his obituary.

B2 Keypad Update

Thank you for your patience as we work on fixing the keypad on the East side of your building. Wes Waters has been working toward a solution and troubleshooting the issue with help from Patrick Turner.

They have engaged the company that installed Building 3’s keypad; however, the gentleman who will help has a family emergency, so he will not be able to come out until next week. (His father is in the hospital.)

If the issue were as easy as replacing the keypad, we would have taken care of it by now; unfortunately, something internal is going on that requires professional help.

We will keep you posted as the issue unfolds.

Thanks,

The COA Board

Please be mindful of your recycling.

This morning, a sign on the recycling bins cited problems with materials left in the recycling bins, which resulted in the city not emptying some of our bins.

According to the guidelines, pizza boxes and loose plastic bags are not eligible for the recycling program.

PLEASE be mindful of what you put in the blue bins. We have many people using only a few bins and cannot afford to have them not emptied weekly. Please refer to Forsyth County guidelines for what is and is not accepted. 

Shrub Trimming

The landscaping team will be trimming shrubs throughout the community tomorrow. 

If you park your car in the large Wachovia lot along the hedge row that borders the creek, we ask that you park elsewhere tomorrow to allow workers to use ladders.

Thank you, 

The Mill at Tar Branch COA
