Construction has begun on a new 163,404 square-foot Costco wholesale retail store in South Windsor's Buckland Road Gateway development area.

State Sen. M. Saud Anwar (D-South Windsor) said Costco would become an anchor store for the entire region.

Anwar added that Costco is already known for its $16 per hour salaries, which is well above the $12 minimum wage.

The store will be located at 1220 Tamarack Ave., neighboring a group of medical buildings and offices, west of LA Fitness and Evergreen Way and north of a senior living facility. The Costco store was first proposed for the Evergreen Walk area, also known as the Buckland Road Gateway development zone, in 2017.

Mayor Andrew Paterna praised the project.

“It has taken a lot of work and effort by the people, the Town Council, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the Inland Wetlands Commission,” he said. “This has been such a team effort.”

Paterna said that Costco treats its employees fairly, and that he was excited to welcome them to South Windsor.

The PZC approved the site plan for the store on Nov. 10, 2020.
