Visions for Vacancies: Farmington

We want your opinion about the best use for this Farmington commercial space.

FARMINGTON, CT — Periodically, Farmington Patch will highlight a vacant commercial property and ask you to tell us what you think would be the best use for it.

Forget what zone it’s in, ignore setback regulations, dump lot coverage rules and all the other zoning jargon that puts most people to sleep. If you had your way, what would you like to see there? What would be the best use for the community?

Today we are featuring a small 700 square foot cottage at 775 Farmington Avenue. The site was formerly home to Vivid Hue Home, which has more than doubled in size and moved a few doors down to 769 Farmington Avenue..
