Summary

Developers aim to build The Grove retail plaza on a nine-acre farm in Bloomfield, Connecticut, featuring an Aldi store. The project, which could start in late 2026 and open in 2028, faces resistance due to past backlash against changes along Cottage Grove Road. The plaza promises increased property taxes and jobs, but requires a zone change and has sparked protests. The planning and zoning commission will review the proposal later this month.
