As Councilwoman Jane Bonner , the Route 25A Land Use Plan allows for a transitional use consistent with the Town’s J-Business District. This designation is designed to permit non-retail commercial uses while concentrating retail commercial to "more appropriate areas", and a museum would be allowed on the property under the plan.
