Haverhill has received five proposals to redevelop some or all of the land around, and including, the Herbert H. Goecke Jr. Memorial Parking Deck, downtown.
Developers had until April 28 to submit proposals to reuse up to five parcels of city-owned land, totaling 4.5 acres, land between Merrimack Street, Main Street and Bailey Boulevard. It is the first time developers have come forward for that area in about 40 years. WHAV has requested a copy of the proposals from the city. In a letter to city councilors to be received formally tonight, Mayor James J. Fiorentini said all of the ideas are from “reputable” companies and for “mixed-use housing and commercial/retail development.”

Rendering of proposed six-story, 18-unit building at 15 Middlesex St., Bradford.
The public has opportunities to shape policy this week as various Haverhill boards meet. In the interest of transparency in government, WHAV provides this list of upcoming meetings every week.
Plans for a six-story, 18-unit building on the site of the former Arthur Sharp Hardware goes before the Haverhill City Council tonight for review and approval of three waivers.
Attorney Michael J. Migliori, representing developer Alan Sfeir, described the riverfront proposal in a letter to councilors as a “vibrant redevelopment” of the roughly quarter-acre site. In its application, the developer says three waivers are needed allowing 18 units where five are required, 18 parking spaces where 27 are required and a height of 91 feet where 55 is the maximum allowed.
The Haverhill City Council has given new life to a former Bradford funeral home.
The property at 52 Salem St. was, until recently, the location of the Bradford Grondin-Carnevale Funeral Home. Last December, it was purchased for $400,000 by Mazraany Construction of Salem, N.H., with plans to convert the 100-year-old building into three residential condominiums.
Mazraany’s representative, attorney Robert Harb, explained the company’s plan.
“We’re asking you for permission to convert the existing home into two units and take the garage in the rear of the existing home and convert that to make a third unit. The applicant wishes to preserve this home and it fits right in the neighborhood,” he said.
