City Council has voted to approve the five resolutions required for the building of the new Market Basket and other stores at Whitney Road, along with a new roundabout at the Rt 4 and Whitney Rd intersection. We can expect work to begin on the roundabout in June, which will improve safety and correct a currently failing intersection. If all proceeds according to plan, it’s possible the Market Basket could be open as early as summer 2022. Local access to shopping, tax base expansion, and job creation are three benefits from this development.
