Founded in 1892, the private liberal arts college was renowned for its connection to environment, conservation, and sustainability right until it closed its doors in May.

Fleet Farm plans for Bay Area in limbo
Fleet Farm has yet to decide if and when to begin constructing a store in the Bay Area. Years have passed since the popular farm and outdoors chain’s Director of Real Estate and Facilities Derrick Hoernke said it closed on the purchase of a plot of land formerly owned by Northern Clearing located near Ashland Ford Chrysler in the town of Eileen. At the time, he said “We are excited to open in Ashland,” and “we intend to build a store,” but declined to say when construction would start. No work on the site has taken place since then. On Oct. 14, Hoernke told the Daily Press the company still hasn’t made a decision. “We are in a wait and see mode with the current economy,” he said. The company’s plans call for a 91,952-square-foot store with a 280-stall parking lot on a 13.52-acre property. Also part of the proposal is a 2,730-square-foot gasoline station covered by a 4,000-square-foot canopy. Eileen Town Chairman Marty Milanowski has voiced support for the project, but not everyone feels the same way about Fleet Farm coming to town. Nearby landowners, who were informed about the development by the town, have expressed concerns about everything
