Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Planning or Assessment

Selected Strategy(ies)Explanatory Text
Phase I and Phase II ESAs that consider impacts from extreme weather events and natural disastersPhase I ESAs may consider current and on-going impacts from extreme weather events and natural disasters and consider future impacts to the site or area. For example, an investigation of the site history can include an investigation of site vulnerabilities based on historical and recent extreme weather patterns and events (e.g., floods and drought). Phase II ESAs may include use of renewable energy, incorporating remote sensing capabilities, maximize reuse of existing wells (as appropriate) and/or design wells for future reuse, use of field test kits when possible, use of local laboratories when possible, and use of appropriate sized equipment for the project.

Additional Property Attributes

In the 1800s, the Site was part of a larger mill development. By the mid-1800s, the Site was part of the Lowell Machine Shop property and Lowell Manufacturing Company. A rail spur was also located on the Site. By 1924, the Lowell Machine Shop became the Saco-Lowell Shops, then Kitson Machine Shop by 1936. A portion of Newmarket Manufacturing Company was located onsite by 1936. In 1950, the properties were undeveloped, with parking lots installed by 1952. The parking lots remain today. A portion of the parking lot located on Parcel 15 has been used as a temporary stockpile location since 2020, for soil that was generated as part of the construction of Francis Street. The soil stockpile is still currently present within the paved limits of Parcel 15. The soil stockpile appears to be secure. The pile is underlined and covered with polyethylene sheeting and contained within jersey barriers and fencing to restrict access. The stockpile will be addressed separately by the City and is not included as part of the proposed Phase II ESA activities. The City acquired Parcels 15 & 16 in November 2021 as part of a larger "land swap" that occurred between the City and NPS. In exchange for acquisition of this land, the City of Lowell has provided an easement to NPS/Lowell National Historical Park for dedicated parking in the newly constructed Hamilton Canal District Parking Facility and a parking lane located on Father Morissette Boulevard. Updated parcel IDs associated with the newly created lots have not yet been generated.

Redevelopment plans will likely include mixed-use buildings with commercial redevelopment on the first floors and residential use on the upper floors to meet current market demands.
