Blackstone is using its Blight Ordinance to go after dilapidated buildings, and Town Manager Philip Vannoorbeeck says the former Velvet Textile could be next.
“Velvet Textile is looking tough,” Vannoorbeeck told Council at its Oct. 20th meeting. “I’m going to have to take some action, there’s actually a hole in the roof — an actual hole. So I will be pushing on Velvet Textile shortly.”
The large, sprawling building fronts Church Street and also extends along Brown and Mill Streets. It was once home to one of Blackstone’s largest, longestrunning industries.
