A hotel, a restaurant, and a gas bar are among suggestions for the development of Colonel Nase Boulevard in Grand Bay-Westfield.
When paving of the new road between Route 7 and River Valley Drive is finished in September, the town will have access to 440 acres of commercial property.
Mayor Grace Losier tells CHSJ News the community supports future development in the area.
Losier says development doesn't happen overnight but she thinks once one business sets up shop on Colonel Nase Boulevard, others will follow.
