Homart is very interested in moving ahead with securing possible
commercial tenants. The discussion of whether or not we could
hire a broker, there was a discussion of the state requirement
for closure. There was a discussion of the comparable market for
sites and whether use for retail purposes would command a higher
price. If not a higher price then what else could we get the
developer to do in terms of site improvements. The Town Manager
will try to meet with Biotech representatives from the state to
clarify the potential market for Biotech uses on that property.
