New Milford has advertised for bid requests to demolish the former Century Brass mill building.  The Town Council earlier this month heard from Mayor Pat Murphy that bids are due June 18th and that she would like to see the 320,000 square foot building torn down by the fall. 

All interested bidders are being required to do a walk through of the site on Tuesday. 

New Milford received a $2.5 million grant from the state Department of Economic and Community Development last year for environmental remediation work and the demolition cost.  Century Brass closed the mill in 1986 and New Milford took ownership of the 72 acre site in 1999 following a tax foreclosure.
