Hathaway: the history, and future, of downtown Waterville

The renovations of the former Hathaway shirt factory are nearly complete, and the building’s rebirth has brought lots of new jobs and households into downtown Waterville.

Last winter, students at Colby College interviewed the project’s developer, Paul Boghossian (who is also a GrowSmart Maine board member), as well as several longtime employees of the former shirt factory. Here’s the documentary they produced - it’s very much worth watching.

This film is one of a series produced by students in English professor Phyllis Mannocchi’s “American Dreams” documentary film course. You can find more documentaries like this one at Colby’s multimedia website.
