Lowe’s coming to Norwalk

Home improvement retailer Lowe’s has secured approval from the city of Norwalk Zoning Commission to construct a new store on Connecticut Avenue, just two miles from a The Home Depot store.

Lowe’s Home Centers Inc. plans to build a 142,000-square-foot building and garden center, with construction starting later this year and concluding in the second half of 2015.

The store, which will be built at 80-100 Connecticut Ave., will reportedly employ 130 people.
