CONWAY — A 19,028-square-foot Tractor Supply Co. store has been proposed to go up along North-South Road on a vacant parcel north of Petsmart, but last Thursday, the planning board sent developers back to the drawing board due to concerns about traffic, snow removal, building size and architectural appearance.
Site plan review has been continued to April 8.
