GREENFIELD — The presentation of the mayor’s proposal to expand the Interstate 91 Industrial Park, located northeast of downtown Greenfield and directly off Route 2, has been rescheduled to Thursday, Sept. 1.
The Planning Board meeting during which Mayor Roxann Wedegartner was originally expected to speak was canceled earlier this month due to the unavailability of multiple board members. The meeting is now scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. at the John Zon Community Center.
Following Wedegartner’s presentation, the Planning Board will consider the potential expansion of the industrial park to the other side of Route 2 to frontage along the French King Highway, also known as Route 2A.
This expansion would come in the form of rezoning 11 parcels east of King Road and north of the French King Highway from General Commercial — which provides an area for mixed retail, commercial and industrial uses — to Planned Industry, which is meant for manufacturing and industrial development.
Greenfield’s Planning and Development Director Eric Twarog said the proposal follows a 2018 Franklin Regional Council of Governments report, which documented a “lack of industrial park space in Franklin County.”
