The Changing Face of Wilton Retail

There's change afoot on the Wilton business landscape, as the town prepares to say goodbye to big-box bookseller Borders, among other stores, but welcomes a more diverse array of additional retailers.

With growing attention to Wilton's grand list and budget issues, there's increased focus on the role our town's business base can play in keeping the town out of the red.

Here's a glimpse at some of the changing players in the Wilton business community.
