Milltown Ed Goff (l), who played Milltown Little League 50 years ago, looks on as his grandson, Kenny, signs a ball during the league's 50th anniversary celebration. Ed's son, Ed Goff Jr., also attended, representing three generations of baseball. While Milltown may be only 2 square miles in size, it is a borough rich in tradition and pride. In 1844, Meyer Rubber Co. settled on Ford Avenue. In 1907, the Michelin Tire Co. took over and erected the building that still stands today at the bridge. Many of the buildings on the site have remained vacant since the factory closed in the 1930s, but a new redevelopment agency has the goal of revitalizing the 18-acre stretch of land. On South Main Street, another large parcel of undeveloped property was transformed in recent years into the East Mill Shopping Plaza, where The Home Depot, Target and numerous other retail stores thrive. Despite a trend toward business development, one other large parcel of land was recently designated as open space by county officials, who acquired a 14-acre site on Washington Avenue. The Lawrence Brook is located near the Washington Avenue site, where footpaths and nature trails are expected to be built in the coming years.
