As part of a planning process to re-envision Fairfield’s waterfront and downtown assets, the town Economic and Community Development Committee is inviting the public to participate in a community input and planning workshop to provide feedback on the redevelopment of Mill Island Park. The public input session is 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 31, at the Fairfield Community Center Gymnasium. The park, which features remnants of the historic United Boxboard and Paper Co. at the northern tip the island, offers expansive views of the Kennebec River. Mill Island Park is owned and maintained by the town, where recent beautification has included removing brush and restoring access and view corridors of the Kennebec River from the western and eastern waterfronts of Mill Island Park.
