Natick’s planning board on Wednesday gave the thumbs up for site plans for the complex, which will include an iFly indoor skydiving facility, a bowling alley and a restaurant, reports MetroWest Daily News. The skydiving facility will be located at 1391 Worcester St., and allows for the construction of approximately 7,530 square feet for the skydiving center and associated parking lot as part of the larger redevelopment. The complex also will span to 19 Flutie Pass in Framingham and 1559 Worcester St. in Natick.

The owners of Shoppers World submitted plans in September to both the Framingham and Natick Planning Boards to turn an empty parcel of land into a $1 million entertainment complex.

There are also plans to add walking and biking paths that run along the north side of Flutie Pass.

Both Framingham’s planning board and Natick’s conservation commission have plans to discuss the project in meetings on Thursday, said the Daily News.
