WEYMOUTH, MA-The Mills Corp. plan to transform the South Weymouth Naval Air Station received another setback when the Weymouth Town Council voted nine to one to support Weymouth Mayor David Madden’s opposition to the plan. The Virginia-based company proposal involves a mega mall/business complex, which would include a 1.1 million-sf retail complex. The proposal is part of a larger base redevelopment plan.

“The driving component of the Mills Corp. reuse plan is a retail development and the mayor believes the town can do better than that,” Jane Hackett, chief of staff in the mayor’s office, tells GlobeSt.com.

According to Hackett, Madden would like to slow down the process and refocus on zoned areas of the plan. He would like to see office and research and development drive the redevelopment and allow retail and service industries to complement those facilities.
