Wallingford PZC votes down Amazon facility on Research Parkway

Neighbors applauded the Planning and Zoning Commission’s denial of a special permit application to build an Amazon distribution center and warehouse at 5 Research Parkway. It was the conclusion of a five-month long process that resulted in the applicant, Montante Construction, being denied approval to redevelop the 180-acre site, formerly a Bristol-Myers Squibb medical research facility. The distribution center and warehouse would have been the third Amazon facility in town. Amazon operates a sortation center nearby at 29 Research Parkway, while Amazon Logistics operates a warehouse and distribution center on South Cherry Street. Montante, a Buffalo, New York-based developer, proposed a 219,000-square-foot, 17-dock Amazon delivery station building and parking lot.
