In the seventies, Millet came to life once more when sub divisions sprang up within Millet's newly expanded boundaries. Millet was on its way to becoming "A Commuter's Paradise". Many old buildings were demolished and new buildings, such as the B&H Block and the Butterfly Boutique, replaced them during the following decade.
