Group Eyes 1,000 Acres for Industrial Park

PLYMOUTH, MA-The Plymouth Regional Economic Development Foundation Inc. is thinking big when it comes to commercial development in the area. The group, a public-private partnership, is eyeing 1,000 acres of town-owned land on Route 25 for a huge industrial park.

The property is currently vacant, wooded land. But if the foundation, an agency that is part of the town government but encompasses most of its neighboring communities, has its way, it will be developed into a commerce park that will serve, says the group, “as the main economic engine for the continued development of Plymouth’s economic base.”

Denis Hanks, director of the foundation, tells GlobeSt.com that the North Plymouth industrial park, the city’s only large industrial park, is down to its last 12 acres. He notes that Plymouth is the largest community in the state and is growing at a rate of 2,500 people annually.
