Devens has rebounded with thousands of jobs since the military base closed, but a central component of the military era remains vacant. A new plan hopes to add residences there.
Quiet Logistics, a Devens company shipping products for well-known brands, has expanded an already sprawling operation with a new 355,000-square-foot fulfillment center.
At first, it looks to be an imagination at work, or maybe the doings of ghosts: groups of tall shelves stacked with packages of clothing and moving entirely on their own.
On Monday, voters approved the rezoning of a 32.7-acre portion of Devens land from residential for innovation and technology uses, opening up the land to commercial development.
