The former Weetabix property on Cameron Street in Clinton
The cereal and snack maker Weetabix has sold another part of its former Clinton manufacturing site, this time for more than $2.1 million.
The latest deal, which closed Monday, includes Weetabix's former main building, which totals roughly 210,000 square feet. It was sold to the same buyer as in March: Dmitriy Chebotarev of Fitchburg.
Weetabix sold an adjacent parcel, at 1R and 3R Green St., to an entity registered to Chebotarev in March for $2.5 million. That property has been proposed for a cannabis cultivation facility by an entity called The Hub Craft, which shares the same Fitchburg address as Chebotarev.
The Hub Craft told the Clinton Board of Selectmen in June the company plans a cultivation facility with 150 workers. The Hub Craft didn't respond to a message seeking comment, and Chebotarev, who isn't listed among the firm's staff, couldn't be reached for comment. The Hub Craft has Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission preliminary approval only for another site, at 25 Newport St. in Fitchburg, where it has a proposed cultivation facility.
That site of the proposed cultivation facility in Clinton is connected by a footbridge to the larger building at 20 Cameron St., which Chebotarev just purchased. Weetabix still owns a final piece of the site, more than 45,000 square feet of building space at 99 Green St.
The five-acre site at 20 Cameron St. was last assessed by the Town of Clinton at just under $4.8 million. The oldest parts of the building date to 1918, according to town property records.
Weetabix announced it would close the Clinton site in February 2018, a year after it was bought by Post Holdings, a company that includes Post cereal brands Honey Bunches of Oats and Shredded Wheat.
Weetabix has also sold a 45,000-square-foot warehouse at 12 Industrial Drive in Sterling. The property sold in October 2018 for just over $2 million to GFI Partners, a Boston real estate firm.
