Residents will get another chance to voice their thoughts about Stroudwater Place, the 1.6 million-square-foot retail center proposed for Stroudwater Street, at a public hearing Tuesday.
For the past two months, the Westbrook Planning Board has been holding meetings every other week to discuss the details of the contract zone proposed by Jason Snyder and his design team for the project, which promises to include high-end retail stores, a farmers market, restaurants and recreation areas.
Before the Planning Board can make a recommendation to the City Council regarding the contract zone, it needs to make an amendment to the comprehensive plan, which is what is up for public discussion at the meeting Tuesday.
According to City Planner Molly Just, the changes needed in the comprehensive plan include a “drastic increase in allowable retail.” She said the current comprehensive plan allows for about one third of the density that Snyder has proposed for the project.
Another consideration, Just said, is the amount of open space planned for the project.
The public hearing will be held in Room 114 at Westbrook High School at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
