RAYNHAM, MA-Route 44 here could be in for a new look as Paramount Development looks to develop a 42.8-acre parcel here, while Wal-Mart seeks to more than double the size of its 90,000-sf store located across the street.

Paramount’s plan is currently under review with the town’s conservation commission. The company had originally filed a plan with the state under the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act for a 191,400-sf mixed-use project that would include retail and office space, a restaurant and light manufacturing space. However, the state had problems with the site’s accessibility as well as its proximity to wetlands.

In Paramount’s new plan, the developer plans on acquiring a 5.9-acre parcel that abuts its original site. A McDonalds that was on that site is relocating. The additional land enables Paramount to change the access to its project and move it further away from the nearby traffic circle.
