ELLSWORTH - A major retail development in the Myrick Street
triangle cleared its final local hurdle Wednesday night when the
city's planning board gave final approval to the project.
Pending additional state and federal approvals, W/S Development
Associates of Chestnut Hill, Mass., could break ground on the project
next spring. The Acadia Crossing project calls for nearly 500,000
square feet of retail space off Myrick Street, consisting of 26
commercial units, including a 200,000-square-foot anchor store.
The large anchor store is widely believed to be a Wal-Mart
Supercenter, and opponents of the project made several references to
the retailer during the public hearing portion of the meeting.
