A proposed self-storage facility in Billerica, Mass., cleared its first hurdle on Oct. 5 when the town's body of representatives approved an overlay that will add self-storage as an additional use for a 6.4-acre parcel at 26 Cook St. The applicant intends to convert the existing structure, known by residents as the "old peanut factory," to as many as 1,300 storage units. The property was previously approved for light-industrial use.
