WILTON – Planners granted a use permit for the new Zionic Harmony store on Main Street, Thursday. The store will be owned and operated by Kimberly Jackson and James Avery, both of Farmington.

Last summer, the town received a $100,000 Economic Development grant to be used to repair the outside of several businesses on Main Street. This building was the second recipient of some of those grant monies, Code Enforcement Officer Katherine Shoaps said.

The business is a new age, metaphysical, and holistic healing store. They will offer Rieki treatments, Chakra alignment and cleansing, tarot and aura readings, distance healing, and a variety of related products. Jackson and Avery said their goal is to support and empower individuals and the community who seek alternative healing for physical, mental and spiritual health.

Avery has experience in computers and sales and is also Rieki II certified and expects to complete his Reiki Master training in December.

“Rieki is like massage, only with energy,” Jackson said. She said she used Rieki to cure a back injury she suffered in an automobile accident.

Marcella Perot will also work at the store. She has a bachelor’s degree in rehabilitation education from Pennsylvania State University and is experienced in teaching and wholesome foods.

Planners granted a use permit to the Breath of Life Ministries on Routes 2 & 4, formerly a flea market location. The building will be used as a meeting house, and the permit is subject to any applicable state or fire marshal permits.

Planners also approved a permit for the town of Wilton to enclose a pump station at the foot of Wilson Lake. The station has been freezing in the winter. It handles 24,000 gallons of sewage per day.

Shoaps said changes to the structure will be over the 30 percent expansion rule, but very minimal changes will occur in the footprint. She said the structure will be large enough for someone to fit in.

The pump station will be enclosed with a shingled roof and vinyl siding with an insulated metal door with a deadbolt. The permit is contingent upon any applicable state permits.

Officials also granted a building permit for Michael Deschenes to build a pole barn to store lumber at his small saw mill on Depot Street.
