What: Preliminary Site Plan PB-2026-066 for 12 New Bond Street, 0 Ararat Street and 0 and 14 Indian Hill Road (also called Lot 2 C Street) in Green Tech Park, the former Saint-Gobain campus.
Where it stands: the Planning Board approved the preliminary plan 4-0 on 2026-08-05 with softened wording; the definitive plan will be filed by a future end user.
Next: C Street subdivision construction (the new street name is garbled in the captions) later in 2026; Conservation Commission filing and definitive site plan for each building.

Applicant: New Garden Park, with Worcester Business Development Corporation (WBDC); Bohler Engineering presented. Related: GreenTech Park TIF Zone and 21 New Bond Street Restaurant Depot (Green Tech Park).
About 29 acres, three buildings designed for a speculative advanced-manufacturing user: roughly 59,800, 147,500 and 210,000 sq ft (about 417,000 total), with 76, 149 and 233 parking spaces plus landbanked parking.
Treated as redevelopment; impervious area cut by about 2,500 sq ft, with underground stormwater treatment at loading areas.
The lots have no frontage until the C Street subdivision is built; an ANR is needed to create them.

A dedication area under the historic memorandum of agreement with the Historical Commission and the state needs ownership and maintenance details (see the Historical Commission's GreenTech Park item in GreenTech Park TIF Zone).
Bike parking, up to 25 percent compact spaces, rooftop mechanical screening, tree counts, lighting specs (1 to 10 foot-candles, 3,000 K, 25 ft), EV charging and solar, cross easements, test pit data and evidence old private streets were extinguished.
Board outcome: the list was framed as "consideration of" items for a future applicant, the contamination-tracking item was struck, and the zoning compliance item was adjusted to allow waivers.

Same meeting: the form of surety for the C Street definitive subdivision (PB-2025-062) was set as a restrictive covenant, 4-0.

About 35 minutes across 1 meeting (from transcript timestamps; approximate).
