One Westfield Place
At the September 20, 2022 Town Council meeting, HBC | Streetworks Development, the owner of the Lord & Tayor site, presented their plans for the development of their property, as well as the North and South Avenue municipal parking lots. Branded as “One Westfield Place,” this potentially historic project is the culmination of over three years of collaboration and community input.
The HBC | Streetworks Development Preview Center will open in October at 76 Elm Street (formerly Chico’s), where residents can see a full scale model of the proposal, ask questions, and provide feedback.
