Somerville To Weigh Future Of Vacant Star Market

SOMERVILLE, MA — The city will host a community meeting about the future of the vacant Star Market site in Winter Hill Wednesday, June 19 at 6 p.m. at the Healey School. The discussion will explore possible paths for redeveloping 299 Broadway.

City workers will present possible options for the space and take feedback. The site has been vacant since Star Market closed its grocery store in 2007.

A proposal for two buildings at the site of the old Star Market and Rite Aid was presented in May 2018, but those plans have not progressed. In 2013, the city won a lawsuit in Middlesex Land Court that prevented the owner of the site from turning it into an Ocean State Job Lot.
