The intent of the Whitin Mill community is to create a cultural destination for the region, to develop a focal point of activities for tourists, to grant access to cultural opportunities for residents of surrounding rural towns, to assist in the rejuvenation of the local economy, and to encourage job formation.

The redevelopment of the Whitin mill has given the Blackstone Valley region a community magnet that draws people from far and wide because of its diverse appeal. Visitors come to enjoy the airy 5,000-square-foot Community Plaza on the banks of the Mumford River where concerts and festivals can be enjoyed, community theater productions in the Singh Performance Center, the artisans’ shops, the Aldrich Heritage Art Gallery, and the ambiance of a beautiful historic structure lovingly renovated. People come to explore our industrial past and to celebrate the modern marvels of a Green future. The Whitin Mill truly is the transformation of real estate capital into social capital.
