LANCASTER - The town has inched a little closer to accepting the Shirley Sewer Municipal Agreement for development in north Lancaster, as of the selectmen’s meeting on Tuesday night.
The pact will allow both water and sewer access from Shirley for the development to be built off Fort Pond Road at the old sand pit that makes up the Chisholm parcel, as well as the existing adjacent Rand-Whitney facility, which would expand as a result.
Steven Goodman, principle at GFI Partners that is developing the site, said they plan to build an approximately 894,000-square-foot industrial park. He said the uses will be industrial distribution, warehousing, light manufacturing and similar. There will also be open space that is not developable.
