Railroad and Main restaurant proposed for Williston’s Finney Crossing

One of Williston’s newest neighborhoods is on track to welcome one of Essex Junction’s newest restaurants: Railroad & Main.

Finney Crossing, just east of Taft Corners, has within the last two years added a Home2Suites by Hilton hotel and a Healthy Living Market & Cafe  — among hundreds of recently constructed homes.

The new 4,200-square-foot restaurant would sit between the Hilton and a new “urban park,” according to plans submitted to Williston’s Development Review Board by developers Chris Snyder and Scott Reiley.

Patio dining, some of it covered, is part of the plan.

A new Railroad & Main restaurant at Finney Crossing in Williston is seen in this rendering by Smith Buckley Architects — part of an proposal submitted to town planners on July 13, 2021.

It’s a spot had been proposed for a Folino’s Pizza and Fiddlehead Brewery (a pairing that works in Shelburne), but those plans fell through during the early stages of the COVID pandemic last year.

No construction timeline has been set for the new Railroad & Main — the project remains in an early review stage by town planners.

If the rest of Finney Crossing serves as an example, groundbreaking will take place sooner, rather than later.
