Planning officials will seek public comment on redeveloping the former Tremont Nail Factory District on March 9. All are invited to the session, scheduled for 7 p.m. in Town Hall's auditorium.

Director of Planning & Community Development Ken Buckland said residents should come ready to learn more about the project, which has new life after receiving a $50,000 state grant, and share what they want to see happen at the site, located on Elm St.

The Tremont Nail Company, which since 1819 had manufactured cut nails and other products, sold the 7.2-acre site to the Town of Wareham in 2004. The site was purchased using Community Preservation Act funds. The Community Preservation Act is a Massachusetts law that allows participating cities and towns to adopt a real estate tax surcharge, supplemented by state matching funds in order to fund community preservation.
