Proposed CVS To Replace Auto Shops In Westfield

WESTFIELD, NJ — Another CVS is looking to be built in Westfield where it will replace three long-standing auto shops — which some have been in business for decades.

The proposed construction will demolish the existing businesses including Body Work by Fischer, Jax Automotive and AM Auto Center.

And it would replace it with a 13,194 square-foot CVS Pharmacy with drive-thru at the corner of South Avenue West and Crossway Place.

The application is seeking a number of variances for issues including the setback distance from the street for the building and parking; size of building coverage area; number of signs; height of signs; and more.

CVS already has another location in town a mile up the same street at 210 South Avenue West. And several others within a 5-mile radius including in Garwood, Clark and Scotch Plains.

The application will go before the planning board will be held on Feb. 6 at 7:30 p.m. in Council Chambers in the Municipal Building, 425 East Broad Street, Westfield.

Residents will have a chance to see the full application and share their opinions on the impending project during the meeting.
