What Businesses Would You Like to See at Drakeshire Plaza in Farmington?

The shape of a new façade is starting to appear at Drakeshire Plaza in Farmington, now that City of Farmington officials have approved an agreement to fix up the strip mall at Grand River and Drake. 

Only two businesses – Subway and Hungry Howie's Pizza and Subs – remain in the center, leaving lots of spaces open for new business. What would you like to see go into the center? What businesses does the community really need?
