A group of developers yesterday presented a plan to Westbrook officials that would make the city home to the state’s largest mall.
Stroudwater Place, proposed for 61 acres near Westbrook Arterial and Stroudwater Street, would have 1.65 million sq. ft. of space for shops, offices and recreation areas, according to the Portland Press Herald. The Maine Mall, by comparison, has 1.2 million sq. ft. of retail space, the paper said.
The landowner, Jason Snyder, is proposing the development with Arthur Emil, a developer in New York. The project would cost roughly $300 million, span 8-10 years and create about 4,000 permanent jobs, the paper said.
The Westbrook Planning Board is scheduled to hold a public workshop on the plan April 1. It will then hold public hearings and make a recommendation to the city council.
