Visions for Vacancies: Rebuilding a Gem
Along West Main Street, right next to the courtyard, the former jewelery store is now up for grabs. What's the best way to fill the space?
At one point, residents could turn to Clements Jewelers for their gold, silver and gem needs. Now we are asking you to put on your thinking cap and build a gem of your own.
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?
So is another jewelry store the best option for the West Main Street space? A pawn shop? Something entirely different?
Tell Us: What's the best way to move forward with the Main Street business space?
