Excerpt from Developers notes:
"The purpose of this project is to restore hydropower to the Pillsbury A‐Mill building. The power will solely be used for the A‐Mill Artist Lofts, which is currently under construction and will provide 251 low‐income apartments. No power will be sold to the grid nor will power in excess of demand be produced. The hydroelectric facility is planned to be installed before the end of 2015 with construction starting as soon as applicable permits are obtained."
