Conservation Commission Continues Gas Station Rebuild Hearing to February, Issues Warehouse Compliance Certificates

WEST BRIDGEWATER -- January 6, 2026, West Bridgewater Conservation Commission advances long-delayed gas station rebuild and closes out Miley Street warehouse. The commission continued the 506 West Summer Street redevelopment hearing for Colvia Enterprises LLC to February 3 after attorney Daniel Dufault reported that a 30-foot access easement crossing the applicant's parcel, the primary obstacle since at least June 2024, is in the process of being terminated, freeing the applicant to reduce impervious surface, relocate the septic system, and eliminate a planned car wash from the site. The revised plans are headed into a 53G peer review, and the planning board had not yet opened its own hearing as of the January 6 meeting. Separately, the commission voted unanimously to issue two certificates of compliance, one for the order of conditions and one for stormwater, for a warehouse at 586 Miley Street, with bond release to follow once the certificates are recorded; engineer Paul Mathos of Alan Major Associates said a small portion of perimeter silt fence remained frozen in the ground and would be removed after the thaw.
