What's Going On In Plymouth?

There's lots going on in Plymouth this year. Starting with real estate, this year will see the beginning of development in South Plymouth by AD Makepeace Co. where eventually some 1100 homes will be built with a Village Center surrounded by woodlands and cranberry bogs. In addition, in North Plymouth, Cordage Park will see the beginning of a first of its kind 40-R project with the first phase including 150 apartments in the area where the old Walmart used to be. Future phases will include condos, shops, and services all of which will enhance the many businesses currently located at this site. This area will become a model for other cities and towns within the state. At Pinehills, new homes continue to be built while construction is underway for the new Pinehills Market, a full service market that will offer everything from hot foods to go, to everyday groceries, meats, produce, seafood and more. The Boston Magazine home of the year for 2008 is also under construction at Pinehills. It will include over 5000 square feet of living space and lots of special features. Of course, there are numerous neighborhoods throughout town that residents are proud to call home. Great home values exist right now in all price points all across town. Now is the perfect time to buy!

Do you think a movie studio could ever really become a reality in Plymouth? There's lots of positive momentum for this exciting project proposed for part of the land known as "1000 acres" in the southern area of Bourne Road near Bournehurst Estates. Check the "Links" section at the bottom of my website homepage to get all of the details. Stay tuned to find out what the town and the county decide as the best use for the old Courthouse buildings in Downtown Plymouth. Studies are underway to consider preserving at a minimum the front facade of the original courthouse. On North Street, the new Arts Center has a long list of classes coming up for all ages as well as many special events planned throughout the year. Pilgrim Hall Museum is the oldest operating museum in the country and is experiencing a multi-million dollar facelift that will provide handi-cap access as well as air conditioning and the ability to better preserve the many artifacts on display. The portico over Plymouth Rock is scheduled for renovation from March 1st through the end of May. Be sure to visit Downtown Plymouth all year long and take part in the many free events, shop the stores, eat at the restaurants and enjoy the history.

I think it's safe to say that Plymouth is a unique community full of exciting things to come that will compliment the many wonderful characteristics already in place. These are just some of the issues and projects that we have to look forward to. If you're looking for more information on something happening in town, let us know.
