Second Combined Adirondack Trust and Stewart’s Planned in Wilton

WILTON — Adirondack Trust and Stewart’s Shops officials are planning a second combined location at the intersection of Northern Pines Road and Route 9, several months after fire ravaged a bank branch behind the existing convenience store.

Maria D’Amelia, a spokeswoman for Stewart’s, said this week that initial discussions had occurred among officials at both companies after a March 14 blaze decimated the Adirondack Trust in Wilton during a heavy snowstorm.

D’Amelia confirmed that a new structure is being planned to accommodate the bank and replace the current Stewart’s store, which was originally built in 1994.

“We would actually be shifting our building over slightly,” she explained, as a means to improve and “increase the flow” of traffic.

“We’ll be ready to go as soon as we receive the approvals,” D’Amelia added.

The first combined Adirondack Trust and Stewart’s location, in Malta’s Luther Forest, was celebrated with a grand opening in May.

The Wilton Planning Board this week tabled the new proposal instead of sending it to the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals. D’Amelia said a variance is required because there will be setbacks that are beyond “what the current zoning calls for” at that location.

The property is divided into three lots, one of which would have to be purchased to build the new Adirondack Trust and Stewart’s complex.

Lucy Harlow, the planning board’s executive secretary, indicated that it could be several months before a public hearing is set and the project receives its final approvals.
