There's a story about this in today's Waterbury Republican-American. There's also photos of the interior of the former Whiting Mills factory and of Griesedieck.
Newman's Own Foundation has pledged $200k towards this project and will go towards the renovation of the defunct Winsted, CT factory where the mural will be displayed. They're hoping this will be a large tourism draw* and earn national recognition.
The story isn't on the Rep-Am's website as of right now. There's also no mention of Jaine either. If my scanner was working (I need to get a new one) I would scan the article and attach it.

(I know only the CT folks will get this,
but you can see I was careful not to use the words "Winsted" and "tourism" in the same sentence
