This would be great for Tewksbury! Jobs for teens and something for families to do for fun would be such a bonus. Best of luck making it a reality.

I agree it's a good idea, however I hope they fix the bridge on Brown St. so that some of the traffic on Rt. 38 can be alleviated, especially when sports begin in the spring and Rt. 38 is a roadblock of traffic coming and going to the sports fields. Brown St./Whipple Road provides an alternative way to get to the other side of town - a much needed alternative way, I might add.

Exciting! I hope it goes smoothly from here for him, it will be a wonderful addition for the town. Sounds like a great place for families/kids.

Finally !!!! Something good in town that actually benefits the kids !!!!

Progress in the making! It sounds real good. Hope all goes through smoothly for Mr. Brown.

That is great!!! Finally

Sounds great!

Nice familly doing something nice for families! Goodluck Gary!

Excellent! We were hoping when we saw work going on that it was going to be something that would benefit kids and families. It has been something missing for a long time. Thank you!

This is good to hear. I hope that process goes smoothly and the Town doesn't present any barriers to the project.

Batting cages would also be a wonderful additon to the proposed complex.

This is awesome, I have so many ideas for Mr. Brown.

Good to hear, but what about the Old mini golf across from McDonalds??? Maybe Mr brown could get some of the old animals and such for his place and clean out that area, 2 birds with one stone???

Awesome! We need something for the kids and famlies in the town!

Let's all hope this flies through the permitting process without someone's adjenda getting in the way!!

Excellent! Good luck! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Great to hear this, I hope all goes smoothly for him. It will be so great to be able to bring our kids to a family place right here in our hometown.

This would be great for Tewksbury and I'm all for it. And it seems most of the residents here would also be. Could anybody please give me any information to help push this forward.

Family fun complex proposed for South Tewksbury

TEWKSBURY - South Tewksbury will be the home of new family fun entertainment complex, pending the approval from the boards of Planning and Conservation.

Local Tewksbury resident Gary Brown is in the process of dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s in hopeful anticipation of starting the development of his new business called MVP, short for Merrimack Valley Pavilion.

Brown’s plan, if it gets the go-ahead, is to provide the community with fun, affordable family entertainment. His vision for the facility includes laser tag, outdoor mini-golf, a sports themed indoor arcade with pizza and a make your own ice cream Sunday bar. Brown has three children in the Tewksbury school system and recognized the need for this type of facility in the area. When he became aware of the piece of bank owned property at 2087 Main Street for sale he decided to seize the opportunity to make the purchase. Although there will be a significant amount of construction involved in order to bring his plan to fruition, he looks forward to adding local jobs and employing some of Tewksbury’s youth as well as provide them with a safe, fun place to go hang out with friends and family.

continued-
Brown has already begun making improvements to the property by demolishing the house that had fallen into disrepair. The commercial unit on the property has been vacant for a couple of years and the go-cart racetrack that once thrived on the spot has not been in business for about 15 years.

Brown’s proposed complex will be about 9,000 square feet, requiring an addition to the current 4,000 square feet building. It will include an outdoor deck overlooking the 18-hole miniature golf course, which will be naturally landscaped with a tropical theme. Indoors, there will be a laser tag arena, and a sports themed café with tv’s, and sports themed arcade games. Brown is aiming to have something for all ages and will be sure to include some health conscious choices in the ice cream buffet, including frozen yogurt in multiple flavors.

“I think this would be a win/win situation because it will add some jobs, create some fun family entertainment and help improve the local economy,” states Brown.

If his plans are approved by the Planning and Conservation Boards he anticipates starting construction in late spring with the goal of opening for business in late summer or early fall.

So I am a teenager in Tewksbury and I would love to work here. It seems like just the things to help out friends and families have fun. But what I'm trying to figure out is how to apply for a job there. Is there anyway yet? I'm just too excited for this.

How do you go about applying for a jobat this facility??

how do i apply?

Merrimack Valley Pavilion has a facebook page and i believe there's an email address on it to apply for a job.
