PROPOSED: Tourister Mill (Warren)

[MapmanNo1]

Every time I go by on the 60 bus, I always look out just north of downtown Warren and wonder what will become of the giant 16-acre mill complex that sprawls along the Warren River (click for map). I can't believe I hadn't heard of this proposal until now...

From the ProJo:

RIAPA leads tour of Warren & Tourister site for developers and planners [7/28/06]

Tourister Mill developer toys with the idea of tidal energy [9/20/06]

Detailed proposal aired before Warren Planning Board [1/9/07]

The proposal is all residential...I'm with the guy from the Warren Preservation Society: where are the jobs? Other than that, it sounds good...

I'm in Warren semi-often, and last time I was there I was wondering the same thing.

I love Warren. It's like the gritty urban town of the East Bay.

In the snap of a finger, Warren seems to have nixed a development that would have shifted the old American Tourister plant from manufacturing to residential, with 350 condos and 40,000 square feet of retail.
