Methuen Seeks State Grants for Merrimack Street Revitalization and Pleasant Valley Street Sidewalks
The Community Development Board received an update on two grant applications submitted in early June. The first grant, if awarded, will fund a study to examine existing businesses and residential uses along the Merrimack Street corridor, with the potential for future zoning and design guideline creation. This study aims to build upon previous revitalization efforts. The second grant application is for planning and design for sidewalks along Pleasant Valley Street, from Colonial Village to the loop, connecting two MBTA community zones and providing pedestrian access. Successful planning grants could lead to future applications for construction funding.
Methuen Council and Community Development Board Review Rezoning Request for Zero Arcadia Street
The City Council and Community Development Board held a joint public hearing to consider a proposed amendment to the Methuen Zoning Map to rezone a portion of Zero Arcadia Street, approximately 2,750 square feet, from single-family residence (RD) to neighborhood business (VN). The applicant, KNK Realty Trust, represented by Mark Johnson from Johnson and Barnstein, plans to combine this parcel with the adjacent 298 Merrimack Street property to redevelop the existing liquor store into a modern commercial building with green space. The rezoning is the first step, allowing for subsequent project approvals. Councilors expressed support, citing the need for revitalization and improved aesthetics along Merrimack Street. The Community Development Board recommended approval to the City Council.
