E-commerce retail giant Amazon has a greenlight to open a new logistics facility in Glastonbury. 

The town’s plan and zoning commission on Tuesday approved Amazon’s plan to open a delivery station in the former Nabisco warehouse at 107 Eastern Blvd., a town official confirmed Wednesday morning.

Amazon will reconfigure the 104,000-square-foot building and expand the parking lot.

Winstanley Enterprises acquired the 12.5 acre property in Sept. 2020 for $4.4 million, according to land records.

Amazon’s delivery stations provide last-mile services that help speed up customer order delivery times.

A synopsis of the operation says packages would arrive at the 24/7 delivery station in Glastonbury via tractor trailer from Amazon fulfillment facilities during the night, and workers at the station would then sort and load them into delivery vans.

There would be approximately 28 Amazon “associates” and 15 managers supporting the Glastonbury operation, and 76 vans departing the facility between 9:50 a.m. and 11:10 a.m. each day.

Amazon has opened numerous delivery stations in Connecticut in recent years in communities including Windsor, Wallingford, Orange, Danbury, Trumbull and Stratford.
