DIXFIELD – Richardson Hollow Mental Health Services will move to the Irving Forest Products office building this fall.
Chief Executive Officer Linda Hertell and her husband, Michael Hopkins bought the 15,000 -square-foot building on Pine Street Aug. 28.
“Richardson Hollow had great offices in the Medical Building across from Rumford Hospital, but our new space is truly beautiful with lots of windows and natural wood. Our staff are thrilled to move to the Dixfield location,” Hertell said.
Irving Forest Products is building new office space for its employees at its mill and expects to move in around mid-September. In the meantime, Richardson Hollow staff are packing, in preparation for the move.
“Once we’re all settled in we’ll have an open house to show our wonderful new space to the community and to give people a chance to know what we’re all about. Also, because the building is so large, there is additional office space available to be rented by compatible businesses,” Hertell said
For more information, phone Steve Brooks, adult program manager, at 364.2495 before Sept. 14, or Linda Hertell at 783.2980.
