Norwich could get another Dunkin' Donuts
Norwich — A Massachusetts developer has submitted plans to build a Dunkin’ Donuts on Route 97 off Interstate 395 Exit 83.
According to plans filed in the city planning office, GTO Realty LLC of Westborough, Mass., would build a 2,390-square-foot Dunkin’ Donuts shop with a drive-thru lane going around the building at 132 Taftville-Occum Road.
Although the development is a permitted use in a commercial zone, the project requires a special permit and a public hearing, city Planning Director Peter Davis said, because the entire property is in the Shetucket River floodplain.
The plans will be reviewed by the city Inland Wetlands, Watercourses and Conservation Commission at its 7 p.m. meeting May 7. If approved, the Commission on the City Plan would hold a public hearing on the special permit application at its May 19 meeting.
