Carver Redevelopment Authority Awaits Land Court Ruling on Green Business Park

CARVER — March 10, 2026 — Carver Redevelopment Authority marks time as Green Business Park stalls on two fronts. The board met March 10 for roughly 25 minutes, confirming that the 301.2-acre Route 44 Green Business Park project remains frozen pending a land court ruling on a disputed Planning Board subdivision condition and state action on the North Carver Water District. Developer George McLaughlin, in written updates dated February 27, told the board that a motion for summary judgment has been argued before the court and a decision is pending, while state legislation to transfer the water district to the town was expected to pass in February or March. Town Administrator Glenn Cannon has projected the cost to restore water service at $300,000 to $500,000, with a six to 12 month timeline to full capacity. McLaughlin noted the project has already lost at least one tenant and multiple expired letters of intent because no water supply can be guaranteed. The board also heard that a Department of Revenue audit of the North Carver Water District — the last one conducted in 2014 — is being scheduled by Finance Director Karen Purcell. The board approved its treasurer's report, which showed a combined balance of roughly $49,552 across three accounts, and set a tentative next meeting for April 14, 2026.
