Massachusetts-based Campanelli Construction is proposing a 1.1 million-square-foot, 55-foot-tall warehouse on the site at the intersection of Interstate 84 and Route 89 in the northern section of town, a parcel that includes the Ashford Motel. The structure would be about the same size as the Buckland Hills Mall in Manchester. Any construction is a long way off, as the Planning and Zoning Commission is considering amending its regulations to allow for a building on the site to be as tall as 55 feet. Developers of the proposed warehouse would have to return to get the commission’s approval for a special permit to begin construction, a lengthy process that would also include more public hearings.
