Redding
Meeting's focus is on new Georgetown Train Station
|
Georgetown Land Development Company will be meeting with the town’s land use agencies on May 28 for a pre-application discussion on the new Georgetown Train Station.
The station, already approved by the state Department of Transportation, includes a 515-foot platform that could accommodate eight cars and a café-type facility. The site would also be home to a proposed parking garage and potentially a health club. The station and otaher facilities would be located at the company’s former Gilbert & Bennett wire mill site off Route 107.
The station has already been designed, said Stephen Soler, GLDC president. After the May 28 meeting, he said, the company would also meet with Wilton’s Board of Selectmen and zoning commission for a pre-application review since a portion of the platform would lie within that town’s borders. “We may have to apply there, too,” said Mr. Soler.
A formal application would be submitted to Redding appropriate land use agencies most likely in June.
