Plainfield town officials have rejected a zone change application for a proposed Costco distribution center that would span the Plainfield and Canterbury town line, citing concerns primarily about increased truck traffic. While the Planning and Zoning Commission approved related text amendments, the zone change itself was denied after two votes, despite a traffic study suggesting minimal impact. The decision highlights ongoing community concerns regarding large-scale warehouse developments in the area.
