Southbury Holiday Cinemas Hearing Postponed Again

Incoming winter storm prompted another delay.

The Zoning Commission public hearing for a proposed movie theater in Southbury has now been postponed once more, again due to inclement weather.

The hearing, set for Wednesday night, has been rescheduled to Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 7:30 p.m. in the Pomperaug High School auditorium.

The hearing was originally set for Jan. 8, however so many residents attended to speak that the meeting was postponed to Jan. 15 at the high school in order to accommodate everyone.

The Jan. 15 date had to be rescheduled to Jan. 22 due to snow, but then had to be postponed again after a malfunctioning transformer caused a roof fire at Pomperaug.

With the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasting another significant snowfall for Wednesday, the town was prompted to move the hearing ahead another week.

Residents have already been weighing in on the proposal on Patch — with the owners even responding to a number of questions.
