WILTON - New and expanding businesses are on the agenda when the Planning Board meets at 7 p.m. Thursday at the town office.

A new modular and mobile home sales lot is being proposed by Dale Leighton and Marty Pike from Farmington. The lot, to be located at 409 Route 2 East across from the Big Apple, is at the site where a mobile home sales lot was located a few years ago.

The new business, Sandy River Homes, will offer KBS Modular Homes from Paris, said Pike, and mobile homes by a new company, Eagle River.

The business hopes to be open by the first of June, Pike said. One part-time position in sales is expected, he said. The company will work with local contractors for setting up the homes.

Using a modular home for an office as part of the five display sites, the proposal also includes space for displaying three 28- by 40-foot modular homes and one 16- by 72-foot home. This display plan will change occasionally, said Code Enforcement Officer Paul Montague.

A request by Michael Deschenes for an expansion to his building material business with the addition of a retail facility and a 35- by 70-foot storage building at 466 Depot St. also will be heard by the board.
