Plans for a new Bob’s Discount Furniture national headquarters place the 103,000-square-foot building on a 9-acre parcel next to Northwest Park in Manchaster, CT.
The planning and zoning commission is tentatively scheduled to hear the application on June 20, but that could change, depending on the number and types of comments generated during the planning department’s review of the application, according to Renata Bertotti, senior planner.
State and local government leaders have promised tax breaks and other aid for the business expansion, which is to add 125 jobs in Manchester over five years. The town board of directors also exempted Bob’s from a local living wage requirement.
Bob’s, which has 69 stores in 12 states, is owned by Boston-based private equity firm Bain Capital.
If approved, the building is to be completed in 2017.
