The owner of 14 acres at 358 S. River Road has presented a conceptual plan to the Planning Board for three buildings, with 88,000 square feet of commercial space. The property is located between Harvey Road and Commerce Drive on South River Road.
On Monday, March 23, Donald Levasseur, the owner, told the board he envisions offices or a manufacturing business moving to the area. He does not have any tenants or builders lined up for the project or know when he would return to the board with a more detailed plan.
Levasseur had previously been before the board for a subdivision of the property, which was approved. But, he said, he did not do the subdivision because it was not the best plan for the property.
As for his latest proposal, he said the board had told him to not count on being able to cross a wetland with a driveway from the development to Commerce Drive. His plan calls for two three-story buildings and one single-story structure.
