Goodwill Store Unlikely on Shelton's Bridgeport Ave.

The Shelton Planning and Zoning Commission did not show interest in the possibility of a Goodwill Store on Bridgeport Avenue, the Shelton Herald reports.

According to the paper, the idea was brought to the commission during an informal presentation. The area at 897-909 Bridgeport Avenue was approved for development for a large medical office a few years ago but was never developed due to low demand for new medical office space.

Members of the P&Z said the nonprofit would not generate property taxes and a site located in a prime economic location should be used for tax-producing purposes, the paper reports. Members were also concerned that the store would generate a lot of traffic.

If a Goodwill store cannot be housed at the location, the site will likely be used for residential development, the paper reports.
