The original plan (don't know if this is still true today) was for the stadium itself to be torn down, and for a small ball field/recreational complex to be built in its place. That's what I was thinking about when I wrote this blog.<BR/><BR/>I suppose that commercial development in that corner of Hillsborough is supposed to take place at the site of the proposed "transit village" - but I wouldn't hold your breath.Greg Gillettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702458129140401412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329417736357277518.post-90779056196218296262008-05-27T12:33:00.000-04:002008-05-27T12:33:00.000-04:00I think they should put a small strip mall in that...I think they should put a small strip mall in that area…make them wish they had the baseball fields back! Seriously they should make towns just for old people who don’t want to see and hear kids or school buses. I like that there is some sort of organized recreation on this side of Hillsborough. I was looking forward to when/if my child(ren?) played baseball that I wouldn’t have to drive to the other side of 206. Than again, the GSA site isn’t that far away. But I do think they should put a convenience store on Willow. This side of Hillsborough is lacking something like that. I’d suggest a Quickcheck. While I’m throwing out my demands I’d also like to see Kmart bulldozed and put a Target there in its place. We used to shop at Target in Bridgwater all the time when we lived closer to it.Mike Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042113320563072689noreply@blogger.com
