II. SITE SPECIFICS The Lynn Waterfront has undergone a comprehensive master planning process that highlights the suitability of this parcel for Amazon. Some of the key findings from that analysis highlight the potential for Amazon, including:
• The waterfront property is an • Because the land is located exceptional site made up of strategically on the Lynn Harbor contiguous parcels of land that are and is accessible by the regional severely underutilized, highway network and the commuter rail from Boston, it is • Land of this magnitude in a a very valuable piece of land with strategic location along a beautiful great potential. waterfront is rare, particularly when it is located within 10 miles • The site’s proximity to a major of downtown Boston. urban area, such as Boston, provides a very attractive setting for living, working and playing.
Site Specifics The site includes 11 parcels with four property owners that together comprise over 100 acres of waterfront property. The parcel owners have already agreed to come together as one team – an example of the business friendly climate in Lynn. The owners, City of Lynn and the state are committed to working with Amazon to ensure that the site can be developed quickly. The site offers several advantages in that the zoning is already approved for a 20-story structure and expedited permits are possible.
Utilities The proposed site was formerly utilized for heavy industrial purpose and does have ample capacity in terms of electrical power supply, water, natural gas and other utility services. Because most of the service lines are older, they will need to be upgraded as part of the project plan. The City of Lynn is committed to working with the state, Amazon and all relevant utility providers on these upgrades.
