Visions for Vacancies: Spicing Up Southern Southington
There is untouched land lying across the street from the Manor Inn and anything is possible. What would you build?
Standing across from the Manor Inn Restaurant on the Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike, there stands a sign advertising opportunity for new life. What would you have that life be?
Let's call this a modern spin on community planning - Patch's version of a charette, a digital drawing board where all ideas are on the table.
Each week we'll present a new vacant building and ask you to tell us what you think would be the best use. Forget what zone it's in, ignore setback regulations, dump lot coverage rules and all the other zoning jargon that puts people most to sleep. If you had your way, what would you like to see there? What would be the best use for the community?
The sign stands from an untapped land and with no buildings to worry about, so anything goes. What business would thrive in that part of town? Which business would you want to see most?
How would you propose to fill the vacant spot? Your thoughts could make a difference, so share your input now!
TELL US: What's the best fit for the Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike?
