Cy Gregg, a local developer, looked at putting in a hotel on Main Street in Peterborough with his business partner, Stan Fry, as far back as 2011.
The project has been put on the back burner for years, as logistical and financial issues have had the duo put off the hotel prospect in favor of other projects, but it’s a prospect that they continue to talk about, and is still potentially on the table, said Gregg. That’s despite the fact that studies that Fry and Gregg conducted when they were investigating the prospect suggested there might not be enough clientele in the area to guarantee the success of a hotel.

The Stone Barn on Old Street Road in Peterborough is for sale after progress stalled on a 32-unit condomimium and farm “agrihood” complex, which was initially approved in 2018 and received a one-year extension in October 2020.
“If someone wants to do a development there, time is somewhat limited,” owner Stan Fry said. The 2019 repeal of TNOZ II zoning overlay precludes a future re-approval of the same condominium project on that site, Town Planner Danica Melone said, so time is of the essence. Construction must start before the approval expires, she said. The project is set to expire on Oct. 13 this year unless the applicants file for another extension.

It was back in the mid-1990s when Stan Fry and Cy Gregg bought their first properties in downtown Peterborough.
“At that time, the downtown sector was not particularly attractive,” Gregg said.
The first section included the properties along the Nubanusit Brook, currently occupied by businesses like Knitty Gritty Yarn Shop, Anytime Apparel and Bowerbird & Friends, and what would eventually become Twelve Pine.
“We just looked at it and said there’s some real possibilities here,” Gregg said.
Over the years, they have added more properties – the building that houses Fry Fine Art and European Esthetics, the Granite Block and Steele’s Stationers building and the other locations that make up Depot Square, like the Hobbs Jewelers building, as well as what is known as the bank building at 45 Main Street.
