Twenty Wayland, LLC donates $315,000 to the town of Wayland
The developer of the highly anticipated Wayland Town Center recently contributed $315,000 to the town of Wayland as part of its pledge to provide a total financial gift in excess of $3 million to town coffers.
The developer, Twenty Wayland, LLC, is fulfilling its pledge under its development agreement to give the town a revenue boost even though the project is not yet allowed to begin construction, and in spite of an uncertain economy.
To date, the $315,000 paid to the town will be used for the following:
*$35,000 to be used for the improvement, management and maintenance of Cow Common, the 65-acre, town-owned conservation land abutting the development.
*$50,000 to be used for the purchase and installation of a wireless municipal fire alarm system to serve buildings located in the Wayland Town Center and town-owned buildings, including public school buildings.
*$230,000 to be used to complete certain public improvements and for other valid public purposes that mitigate impacts of the Wayland Town Center project.

Now what? As the year comes to a close, the state of retail is always in the news. The answers vary greatly depending on who in the various related industries you ask, each offering a unique lens on the challenges and opportunities ahead.
