Decision Delayed on New Manchester Walmart Location

The Planning and Zoning Commission tabled Walmart's request to open a second location town Wednesday until its next meeting on Oct. 3.

The Planning and Zoning Commission tabled two applications from Walmart as part of its meeting Wednesday, one that sought approval for a new 158,430-foot supercenter at 205 Spencer St., the other to expand the current Buckland Hills Drive store. 

Both applications are now expected to appear on the agenda of the PZC's next meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 3. 

The first proposal would see Walmart construct a 158,430-foot supercenter at 205 Spencer St., the site of a former Kmart location that is in the process of being torn down.

The second proposal seeks permission to expand the existing Walmart location in town, located at 420 Buckland Hills Dr. near the Shoppes at Buckland Hills mall, by an additional 439 square feet, and include a modification to the existing entrance and the elimination of the one-way requirement for the northern drive aisle entrance to the property. 

Stick with Patch for the latest on both these applications in the coming weeks.
