North Carver Green Business Park

Carver | Montello Street

In 2019, the site benefited from a $3.2 million Commonwealth of Massachusetts MassWorks grant to improve transportation access by creating a new access road and improving intersection signalization. The town also recently approved zoning changes to allow greater building heights in its Green Business Park district, as deemed necessary by the Carver Redevelopment Authority to attract modern facilities. The current development proposal is for a roughly 1.8 million-s.f. warehousing and distribution facility.
