This site was most recently approved for the development of a Chick-fil-A restaurant and a bank with active planning board presentations as recently as August to discuss minor modifications to that permit. However, the Town has been informed that the plans for this property have changed and future plans are currently uncertain. Torrington Properties, who owns the site, received notice recently that Chick-fil-A would not be exercising its right to occupy the site as was anticipated.
“While this news is surprising to all of us, we recognize the immediate positives – that substantial improvements have already been made to the site and the eyesore that was Motel 6 is cleaned up,” said Mayor Joyce. “We look forward to continuing to work with Torrington as they secure a new tenant and proceed with construction, as we are all anxious to have a new investment in the heart of our Town."
