What's in the Works

A team led by Union Studio is developing a Vision Plan for the old Tremont Nail Factory to identify uses that are supported by the market and will benefit the community. The plan will build off a completed site and feasibility analysis—and your input!

What's There Now

The historic factory district, purchased by the Town of Wareham in 2004, is mostly vacant except for a public kayak launch and some municipal equipment storage. Until 2007, the site housed the oldest continuously operating nail maker in the country, Tremont Nail Co.

What's Happening Next

The Vision Plan will inform a Request for Proposals to be issued to developers later this year. In the meantime, and as proposals are reviewed and considered, the Town will host public events to familiarize residents with the site, a significant and compelling piece of our country's early industrial history. Events will be added to the Timeline as they are scheduled. We hope to see you there and to hear from you in the community forum!
