Michael Ventura of Ventura & Son Stairbuilders has had a woodworking workshop in the Lincoln Mill for 15 years. He supports redevelopment of the mill, but says finding a new work space hasn’t been easy. He also worries about the cost to move, which he estimates could be $10,000 or more for many of the tenants.
