CONWAY — A proposed Market Basket supermarket got a generally favorable reception as the Conway Planning Board began its site-plan review last week for the project off Barnes Road in North Conway.
Applicant Robert Barsamian of OVP Management of Needham, Mass., owners/operators of the adjacent Settlers Green retail complex, said he is hopeful that pending approvals, the store will go up behind the new Settlers Green Streetside next year.
