Since 2003, the Municipality of Arbedo-Castione has been working on the restoration of the Mulino Erbetta, beginning with the purchase of the building and the adjacent land (a credit of CHF 296,200 was granted by the Municipal Council on May 5, 2003).
On April 15, 2008, the Municipality established a Foundation, allocating CHF 250,000 as a contribution to the restoration costs.
The main purpose of the Foundation is to promote and support any initiative related to the restoration of the former Mulino Erbetta, the Casa Molinara (a historical monument of cantonal importance), and the surrounding landscape, particularly the Roggia dei Mulini, in collaboration with the Municipality, the Parish, the Patriziato, and other public and private institutions.
Additionally, the Foundation promotes the reactivation of the mill’s functions and the provision of its infrastructure for educational or cultural visits.
