Winchester Board of Appeal to Review CVS Pharmacy Proposal in May: With no updated site plan to review, the Winchester Board of Appeal granted a continuance for CVS Pharmacy until May 14 during their meeting Tuesday night at Town Hall.

Acting Board of Appeal chairman Richard Sampson explained that the town has a rule stating that site plans need to be submitted at least five days before a meeting and CVS did not provide the plans ahead of Tuesday's session. He added that the board would not be voting on anything related to the project until the new plan has been received and reviewed by the board.

CVS, which has a location on Main Street in Winchester, is proposing to develop a roughly 12,000 square-foot location in the area of 278-292 Washington St., 12 Swanton St. and 16-20 Swanton St. The area is currently zoned as mixed use, which would allow for commercial development.
