In between a CubeSmart storage facility and a veterinary hospital on Market Street, there is an undeveloped tract of land that the owners hope to turn into a boat dealership, with retail space for boats, motorcycles and ATVs.
Development in the area has previously been untenable, since the veterinary clinic next door possesses a septic system that sits in the wooded area between both properties. Further, there is a 41-inch heritage oak nearby the septic system, limiting potential plans.
