SOUTHWICK — After over two years of fits and starts on a proposal by two Southampton-based developers to build a self-storage facility on College Highway, the project was essentially greenlighted by the Planning Board after a public hearing on the proposal Tuesday night.
“This is a great replacement project than what was originally before us,” said Planning Board Chair Jessica Thornton after the facility’s designer, architect, and one of the developers presented its updated plan to build a 34,800-square-foot two-story building between O’Reilly’s Auto Parts and Pioneer Valley Trading Co. on College Highway.
The developers, Jim and Ellen Boyle, originally applied for a special permit to build a nearly 60,000-square-foot building in May 2023.
