If that proposal goes off as it was presented the whole of Westbrook is likely to turn out like shit as the precedent being set for the area is setting the bar at the lowest of lows and no one is going to build something great right next door to the Matco disaster.

TBH, it looks like the city did actually go ahead and sold the chance of a great and vibrant Westbrook TOD out for "affordable" housing.
