Lower water and sewer rates in the town of Pomfret are already beginning to make a splash when it comes to development.
William McFadden, who owns the 2-acre site that was previously a Tops Express location across from Walmart, announced that Luv Car Wash, Luv Express Service and Luv Pre-Owned Auto Dealership will be built at 10398 Bennett Road. He says it will create 22 jobs and “revolutionize the car wash industry.”
McFadden said the $3 million project, which is targeted to open around mid July, almost did not happen due to high water and sewer rates that had been contractually agreed to by the town through the village of Fredonia. However, a new deal that was negotiated between the two municipalities in March was the key to the project starting.
