WINDSOR — The Windsor Diner has the go-ahead to move to a new location on Main Street this summer.

The town’s Development Review Board unanimously granted conditional use and site plan approval in late April to the Guy B Vitagliano Foundation to relocate the diner from 135 Main St., to an empty lot on 161 Main St.

The foundation is set to be poured by the end of May and the goal is to move the diner using a crane in the middle of June, said Greg Blanchard, of Blanchard Contracting in Windsor. All the permits for the project have been approved and Blanchard is in the process of finalizing the logistics for the move.

Once the 1952 Worcester Diner Company diner car owned by Theresa Taylor is relocated, Blanchard Contracting employees will install a 15-by-30-foot kitchen on the back of it. The projected cost is around $350,000 and Taylor is self-funding the majority of the project, she said.

Taylor, who has owned the diner for more than 15 years, said she hopes to reopen it by the end of August.

The diner closed in January after Blanchard Contracting workers who were set to pour a new concrete floor in the basement of the diner’s current location discovered more structural issues. The land where the diner currently sits is owned by an economic development nonprofit organization, the Windsor Improvement Corporation.

More than a year ago, the Guy B Vitagliano Foundation, which Blanchard founded to help improve the quality of life for people in the town, purchased 161 Main St., a roughly 1-acre plot of land. Current plans call for the diner to occupy the front portion of the property and the foundation is still working on plans for the rest of the site.
