KW Commercial of Portland has been hired by Thurlow Family LLC to market the property for what it predicts could see in excess of $50M of mixed-use development, the Portland Press Herald reports.

The company’s president, Joe Casalinova, announced a partnership in 2014 with the Thurlow family to build seven business villages on the property to benefit from visitors to the nearby Oxford Casino. Casalinova initially proposed a family-friendly retail and recreation space as well as a hotel.
