Westfield submits state paperwork to create industrial park
A potential industrial park on the city’s north side is moving forward with the submission of an environmental notification form to the state Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. The potential park, located on 66 acres between Turnpike Industrial and Cabot roads, is a wooded area that the city purchased in 1989 with intentions of creating an additional landfill. When regulations no longer allowed for a landfill, the property remained undeveloped. City Advancement Officer Joe Mitchell said filing the environmental notification form is the first step in the prequalifying site review for the Turnpike Industrial Park.
