ROCKPORT In a continued effort to find potential developers for the site of the former Rockport Elementary School (RES) at the corners of Route 90 and Route 1, members of the municipal RES Task Force have begun seeking “letters of interest” from parties that may choose to convert the undeveloped, town-owned 7.4 acre parcel of land.
Members of the RES Task Force drafted a document titled “Invitation to submit a letter of interest,” which asks prospective developers to submit copies of their past professional experience, financial standing and vision for the property to the town’s Planning Department, all by April 9.
On March 8, the Rockport Select Board unanimously approved the the document requesting letters of interest (LOI). The document outlines the history and physical details of the property as well a “town vision” for the site. Potential development ideas range from an eldercare facility to an amphitheater and an information center.
Join the Rockport Public Library, Wednesday, Feb. 24, at 6 p.m., for a one-hour presentation on the graceful white-tailed deer. “While we see these lovely creatures in our yards or neighboring forests and fields, most of us know little about them,”.
