Tilcon Connecticut has temporarily withdrawn its application for a zone change needed to expand one of its quarries. The construction company currently has about half of its 468-acre operation in the northeast part of town and is looking to expand by 83 acres, according to the April 8 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting minutes. The company’s primary material is basalt which comes out of the two quarries in town, including on the south side of New Britain Avenue, said Tom Daly of SLR Consulting, at the April 8 meeting. Tilcon sent a May 6 letter to the Planning and Zoning Commission to “formally withdraw, without prejudice, the Tilcon Connecticut application.”
