UNITY An already-approved proposal for the relocation of the town’s Dunkin’ to Main Street is still stirring debate.
Some neighbors don’t want it moved into an area they consider largely residential and are calling for Unity’s Board of Selectmen to reconsider the project at 170 Main St.
The town’s Dunkin’ is currently located inside The Depot Country Store on Depot Street. The proposal will allow Dunkin’ its own 2,604-square-foot establishment with a two-lane drive-thru and 18 parking spaces. Norridgewock resident Colleen Bailey is listed as the franchisee.
