Hall County officials remain very much committed to turning the historic Healan’s Mill in East Hall into a tourist attraction. On Monday, the Board of Commissioners appeared ready to accept a recommendation to apply for a $300,000 matching grant with the Appalachian Regional Commission to purchase almost 99 acres surrounding the historic mill, which was originally known as Head’s Mill. The mill currently sits in a 4-acre tract on Whitehall Road in Lula.
