A major housing project in Easthampton is moving forward despite the ongoing Ferry Street closure. Demolition of two deteriorating mill structures is expected to begin within two weeks, clearing the way for new housing, including 91 affordable apartments. The nearly two-million-dollar demolition should continue through mid January. Meanwhile, crews are still investigating the collapsed underground pipe that caused a massive sinkhole earlier this month. There’s still no timeline for reopening Ferry Street.
