Former Wilton tannery to be redeveloped

A proposal to redevelop a former tannery in Wilton is moving ahead after town officials approved the building’s sale to two brothers.

The Morning Sentinel reported that the board of selectmen on Tuesday voted to sell the 62,000-square-foot building for $1 to James Black, owner of Black Acres Firewood, and John Black, owner of Rocky Hill Landscaping.

The brothers plan to invest $500,000 into a three-phase renovation of the property, which they are planning to use for storage, firewood processing, composting, space for new businesses as well as a manufacturing center and parts store for a Farmington business.
