The Wire Mill


The Wire Mill

The company, founded in 1834 by Benjamin Gilbert and Sturges Bennett in the Georgetown section of Redding, Connecticut finally ceased operations in 2001. 

In 2020, Redding took ownership of the 44 acre Wire Mill property in 2020 after a lengthy foreclosure process, beginning in 2015, which ended as a victory for the town after a favorable decision was made by the Connecticut Supreme Court.

In 2024, the cleanup and restoration of this historic property will begin in earnest but before this happens, this clip readily shows just how complex and intense the remediation task will be in the months and years ahead.

Enjoy.
