An applicant has withdrawn its request to change the town’s zoning regulations as part of an overall plan to convert the current Timex world headquarters site into a large “Amazon-like” distribution facility. However, while JSD Partners of Waterbury did not offer an explanation for the pull out, local residents say they expect the applicant will refile once it takes care of “procedural” matters. JSD Partners of Waterbury has been looking to build the 750,000 square-foot distribution center on the Timex campus off Christian and Southford roads, complete with 66 loading bays to accommodate as many as 106 tractor-trailers at a time. A hearing of the Planning and Zoning Commission was canceled Thursday night as a result of the withdrawal.
