    Description
    The Town of Amherst (the “Town”) has taken a significant step toward securing its long-term economic future with the acquisition of 150 acres of strategically located land that will enable the expansion of its industrial lands and the creation of the Amherst Business Park. This zone will accommodate a diverse mix of high-end commercial, light industrial, and larger multi-unit residential developments, supporting economic growth while ensuring compatible land use relationships. This expansion ensures Amherst is well positioned to attract new investment, support job creation, and respond to growing interest from businesses looking to locate in the town. The Town is seeking proposals from qualified commercial real estate brokerage firms to provide exclusive listing, marketing, and disposition services to achieve these goals. The selected Proponent will be responsible for designing and executing a comprehensive marketing and sales strategy to generate maximum market exposure, create a competitive sales environment, and achieve the highest possible favorable business environment for the Town. The Town places significant importance on the Proponent’s depth of market reach and established network of qualified contacts, including developers, investors, owner-users, and industry stakeholders. Notwithstanding the above, the Town retains sole and absolute discretion in selecting the successful purchaser(s), in determining how development within the Business Park will be curated and advanced, and in structuring transaction terms, including the inclusion of buyback provisions where deemed appropriate.
