Neighbors,
With yesterday’s Planning Board agenda update we’ve found an attached letter from Winstanley Enterprises, formally withdrawing their application for the special drivethru permits at the Chelmsford Mall. The email continues, “We will not be proceeding with the development of these out-parcels at this time.”
Thanks to everyone who got involved, got yard signs, and followed along for updates. For now, we longer need to worry about drivethru restaurants going in at the Chelmsford Mall.
It’s possible (probable, even) that we will see another proposal to develop these spaces at some point in the future, as we’ve seen proposals in the past from the prior owner of the plaza. Hopefully, any potential future plans to develop the Chelmsford Mall will take Westlands residents into account in a way that adds actual value to the neighborhood without threatening to overwhelm traffic worse than it already is.
This is the last update here on StopChelmsfordMall.org. We will try to keep the website registered but dormant in case it’s needed again at some point in the future. If you’ve got yard signs, please pack them away and enjoy the holidays!
