South Windsor-based plumbing fixture wholesaler Halstead and Associates paid $1.3 million in November to buy its 24,000-square-foot headquarters.
The 25-year-old company began leasing the industrial building at 330 Nutmeg Road five years ago, according to Jeralyn Halstead, the company’s office manager. Halstead & Associates employs nine, she said.
“It just made more sense,” Halstead said of the purchase.
The Planning Board on Monday approved the change of use for 856 and 858 State Road, with members Chairman Michael Leary and Lawrence Taft abstaining. Brent Johnson of Midland General Contractors Inc. based in Rockford, Ill., said ClearChoice is a retail medical office that does everything from sprains, full on-site X-rays, bruises, stitches, cold, coughs, everything you would see in an urgent care. According to its website, ClearChoiceMD offers walk-in services seven days a week from 8 to 8 for minor injuries and illnesses such as strains and sprains, stitches, allergies and infections, as well as COVID-19 testing. The centers have more recently been closed on Sundays.
