In 1971, Blackstone Valley Gas and Electric occupied Mill #4 as an office and Mill #1 for equipment storage. The power plant was no longer in use. Mill #2 was sold to Hemond, Inc., who used it for a home improvement business.
There were plans in the 1990s to convert the buildings into apartments, but funding was unable to be secured to complete the project.
