Pilmont is a town in the Epsilon expansion of the New World, founded by bensismith. It is currently Mayor.
History
The town was intended to be a fresh start away from Freshney, the mayor's previous town. This means that it was originally roughly planned, something Freshney lacked. However, many of the plans fell apart and the town returned to being developed on a semi-ad-hoc basis hence taking 3 and a half years to become Ranked. When it became Councillor on the 10th October 2020, the mayor recieved $1 as a reward for this achievement.
On the 18th September 2022, Pilmont was finally promoted to Mayor after 5 and a half years, to almost zero fanfare!
Transit History
The town originally had plans for buses, a metro, warp trains and cart trains to criss-cross the entire city. While the metro and warp trains survived, the buses were axed due to their inconvenience compared to the metro or a tram. Therefore, the bus lanes were replaced by a tram system and cycle lanes, before even the trams were dropped in favour of only having the metro.
Buildings
There is a lack of buildings currently in Pilmont but there are plans to "rapidly" increase the size.
Standalone Franchises
If you own a franchise, Pilmont is looking for franchises of all shapes and sizes. Both pre-built and custom stores are welcome, with some potentially incorporated into other buildings such as apartments or offices. Contact bensismith by mail (or just ask when online) for details.

Town Hall
Constructed in the middle ages of the town, shortly after the Pillbury and Montgomery Shipping Company set up their new Pill-Mont Docks to the east of the current town. Construction began in brick, but a successor of the company decided to use sandstone to save construction costs. This can be also seen down the road with the sandstone Pill-Mont House (not constructed yet).
Pilmont Elizabeth Interchange
Loosely modelled after stations such as Manchester Piccadilly (arched viaduct stations), the station was originally built in the steam era of warp trains. It had 2 platforms and a central reversal siding. When the railways and all other transport was made to be controlled by the town, the station was redeveloped to how it is today, with 3 platforms. There are also plans to create an extra 2 platforms, 10/11, underground to connect to New Acreadium Central Station and Chalxior Thondes.
The viaduct was planned to continue over the river but due to laws around construction of bridges at the time and the expensive and untested bridge type needed, it was abandoned. It took until other railway interests from the Mainland wanted to transit the Isthmus for the bridge to finally be finished.
