Land Cleared To Begin Construction Of Enfield Noble Station

ENFIELD, CT — More than six acres of land on Elm Street has been cleared in preparation for construction of a new Noble Gas facility, which will feature a great deal more than the standard auto fuel and convenience store offerings.

The formerly treed parcel on the south side of the street extends from 7-Eleven to the former Fox Hill Automotive building. It will become home to an 8,437 square-foot gas station and convenience store with a drive-thru, as well as a separate 3,197 square-foot car wash.

Plans approved last fall by the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency show eight gas pumps, electric vehicle charging stations and an express car wash. Inside the store will be a coffee shop, sandwich shop and ice cream shop; indoor and outdoor seating will be provided.

The grounds will undergo a transformation, as owner Michael Frisbie plans to create a one-third acre pond in the rear, with about 1.8 acres of bordering meadow and woodland wetland in the southern portion of the property. A walking path and picnic area are also planned.

An entrance will be built to the east of the current automotive building, adjacent to the small plaza containing 7-Eleven. The old auto shop will be torn down.
