An application for a rehabilitation center in downtown Greenville has once again been continued without discussion at the request of the applicant.

The proposal includes the major renovation of a former mill building at 21 Chamberlain St. into a 28-day drug-and-alcohol rehabilitation center. The Planning Board has found the application to have regional impact, both because of the property’s proximity to the Souhegan River and due to the potential impact to mutual aid services such as fire, police and ambulance. 

As of June 15, when applicant Georges Realty appeared before the board, the applicant was working through comments submitted by the Souhegan River Local Advisory Committee and Department of Environmental Services.

The plans have been before the Planning Board for a site plan application for several months, but have not been discussed at length since June, as the applicants requested continuances during the last two scheduled hearings on the issue. The Planning Board granted both hearings, forwarding the application to the next hearing date without discussion, and without the applicants present.

During the most-recently scheduled hearing on the application, scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 21, the applicant requested to continue the meeting prior to the hearing, a repeat of the last scheduled hearing Aug. 17. The Planning Board granted the continuance, and the meeting was continued until Oct. 5 at 7 p.m. at the Mascenic SAU offices on Adams Street in Greenville, without further discussion.
