2.3 Leverage Development Agreements to Secure Permanent Conservation
3.3 Identify and invest in wastewater treatment infrastructure
2.4 Acquire and Renew Emerson Park

1.2. Establish a governance structure to attract industrial investment • Attracting tenants to the site, especially innovative industries, will require a new entity or a consortium of existing entities that can coordinate planning, generate partnerships, secure state and federal incentives, and promote the development opportunity directly to relevant businesses. • The Devens Regional Enterprise Zone is a successful example of a multi-partner innovation district in Massachusetts.

1.3. Identify future energy uses for the Waterfront site • The Waterfront site is currently home to a robust high-voltage 345kV capacity transmission line and switchyard facility. This is a rare, high-value asset that should continue to be utilized to its fullest potential. • Because of the long term uncertainties of spent fuel storage, past site disturbance, and the presence of existing high value infrastructural assets, it is the consultant planning team’s recommendation that the Plymouth community strongly consider a new energy use for the Waterfront site. What that energy use is should be the subject of a additional community conversation.

Precedent: Purple Valley Trails, Williamstown, MA
• The planning consultant team recommends that the Town and its partners form a governance structure appropriate to finance, manage and maintain this new conservation area. • There are many existing partners who would be appropriate to participate in envisioning and participating in the formation of this new entity including the Wildlands Trust, Mass Audubon, Pine Hills Area Trail System (PHATS), and New England Mountain Bike Association (NEMBA).

2 Conservation & Recreation 2.6.

Contributing Areas to Recreational Waterbodies
• Proposed industrial development and new energy uses may also significantly increase water demands and require investment in new wells.
