The parcel was once zoned for farmland but the Cassidys had the site rezoned for retail use in preparation for a leasing deal. Charter Realty is proposing developing seven buildings on the site which would include a 71,548-sf Shaw's Supermarket and six other buildings at 25,000 sf, 12,000 sf, 22,400 sf, 7,500 sf and 48,000 sf as well as a 7,000-sf restaurant.
According to representatives of the town, there is a lot of ambivalence about the project. While residential abutters to the site are concerned about the project's impact on traffic, water drainage, noise and light in the area others are eager to see this largely residential town increase its tax base. A public hearing is being held this evening on the project.
