Mason Street

Paul has been on a roll lately.    Think he was spurred by the fact the City of Worcester finallly pulled the plug on Pharmasphere after waiting three years.   Mason Street, on the other hand, has been five years. 

I want to make on thing very clear.    The Chandler Businiess Association actually supported the iniital RFP process and the actual award.  In fact we went to the ZBA (or was it planning board) supporting a zone change for the project.

Here are the facts again.   November 5, 2005:

1. 11/2/5 book 37717 page 51 48 Mason Street--66,853
2. 11/2/5 book 37717 page 59 47 Mason Street-- 43,147
3. Total price 110,000
4. Commence land development within one year specified in deed
5. Complete development within two years specified in deed
6. .Land shall not be used for the storing or dumping of trash or refuse specified in deed

Did any of us truly believe this project would be completed in 2 years?  No, but did any of us think 6 years later, development would not have even started?      The whole point of the RFP and LDA process is to ensure that the project is completely as awarded in a timely fashion.
