1. Fiscal Resilience – Is the property the right place to expand and diversify the Plymouth tax base?
2. Jobs & Housing – is the property an opportunity to generate jobs and provide workforce housing for the town?
3. Conservation – How could the property contribute to the larger recreation and opens space conservation needs of Plymouth?
4. Quality of Life – Could the propertey be an opportunity to provide infrastructure, services, and facilities that support a high quality of life?
