Ed. Note: Readers of The Walpolean saw minutes of the April Planning Board meeting (see 5-08 posting) describing a presentation by engineer Greg Mikolaites of the Portsmouth Appledore Engineering firm last month in which he told the Board commercial real estate developer The Hutton Company of Chattanooga had plans to build a commercial space on Rt. 12 that would house a Tractor Supply Inc. store and another unnamed store. In seeking more information on the development prior to this evening's Planning Board meeting, Mr. Mikolaites referred me to Erick Emory of The Hutton Co. In a phone call this a.m., Emory expressed his surprise that Tractor Supply was mentioned last month because, he said, The Hutton Co. has no current plans for them or any other specific tenants for their intended Rt. 12 development. Emory agreed to talk with me in several weeks when their plans might be further along. CCB
