"expected to create 150 full- and part-time jobs"

Big Y representatives met with town officials last week, outlining a preliminary plan under which construction would begin in July, Planning Director Bryan Taberner said.
Representatives of the Springfield-based supermarket chain "came back to talk in general terms and figure out what steps they have to take," Taberner said.
 
One of the biggest hurdles will be coordinating with the state Department of Transportation to install a traffic light at the supermarket's entrance, he said. 
The Planning Board approved the 56,800-square-foot store in June. It will be built across the street from the Franklin Municipal Building, on the former site of the Franklin Buffet restaurant, 348 East Central St. 
"Any development there right now would be a good thing. In general, commercial development is needed" to expand the tax base and create jobs, Taberner said.
