ABOUT THE PARMENTER SITE

Land Use: Governmental/Public Use

Zoning: X (institutional or municipal use)

Lot Size: Approximately 20.5 acres

Total Building Size: Around 50,610 square feet (Formerly the Gerald M. Parmenter Elementary School)

​

The site consists of a large, single-story school building with adjacent open space and parking areas. It is relatively flat and well-suited for redevelopment, offering sufficient space for expansion or reconfiguration. Located in a residential neighborhood with direct access to Wachusett Street, the property is approximately 1.1 miles from the Franklin MBTA Commuter Rail station, providing convenient regional transit connectivity. Utilities and municipal services are readily available, and the site’s size and zoning make it a strong candidate for municipal reuse. While the existing building remains functional, it is aging and requires significant upgrades to meet modern building codes, ADA standards, and energy efficiency requirements.
