After months of contentious debate and hours of public hearing and discussion, the Zoning Commission approved the application for a new Sikh religious center in West Norwalk. However, some neighbors have voiced efforts to continue fighting the project.
The building, to be built at 283 Richards Ave. was approved Thursday in a 5-1 vote, with commissioner Richard Roina as the sole dissenting vote.
The Sikh religious center — called a gurudwara — will be comprised of two main floors and a finished basement, totaling about 18,000 square feet, according to application documents.
