LAKEVILLE After months of public hearings during the town’s multi-departmental review process for large scale Development Opportunities District (DOD) projects, the Planning Board formally voted on April 1 to approve site plans and a special permit for the proposed redevelopment of the Lakeville Hospital campus as a warehouse and distribution center.
Commercial property developer Rhino Capital is proposing to tear down the seven abandoned buildings in the hospital complex and build a 402,500 square foot building to be leased to as yet unknown tenants. According to submitted plans, the building would be sited just over 400 feet from Main Street, and be outfitted with 128 loading docks for tractor trailer truck deliveries and shipments.
