A housing developer’s request to rezone the former Hill Street School met with some opposition from the public, and a negative vote from the Globe Planning and Zoning Commission, during a commission meeting last Wednesday.
Gorman & Company, a Wisconsin-based firm with a Phoenix office, has proposed to rehabilitate the historic school and add a second three-story building to create an affordable senior housing complex with up to 70 units. Their proposal also includes a sidewalk and perpendicular parking spaces along Devereaux Street, east of the school, and a green space in front of the old school.
