City Closes on $5.6M Sale of Boston Post Road Property

From city officials:

I am pleased to announce that the City today closed on the 1037 Boston Post Road property with the 1037 LLC established by Wolf Petroleum -- a family owned real estate company for $5.6M. 

The property was originally purchased by the City in 2006 for $6.2M with plans for a Police Station/Courthouse that could have cost up to $25M to develop.  The City and the Council had since changed those plans instead to sell the property resulting in today's action.  The buyer has indicated their plans for high-end retail for the site.  The City will use the proceeds to replenish its reserves and focus on reinvesting in the City's much needed infrastructure.
