VISION FOR VACANCIES: The former Parva factory site
For years Parva operated a business painting industrial parts on the site at the corner of Whitney Avenue and Dickerman Street. It's been empty for years -- what should go there next?
The lot at the corner of Dickerman Street and Whitney Avenue has been empty for years, with even the white brick building that once housed Parva Industries and then seasonal stores selling things like fireworks and Halloween supplies is now gone.
It's a prime piece of property, located at the entrance to the Route 40 connector that goes to I-91, which could make it attractive to businesses that need office space.
But sitting on Whitney Avenue, it's also a prime spot for a commercial or retail business.

What would you like to see built there? Or maybe you would like the town to purchase it and keep it a pocket park? Or perhaps a commuter lot, though the parking lot at Our Lady of Mount Carmel on the other side of the connector operates as a de facto commuter lot at present.
Weigh in and let town leaders know what kind of businesses you would like to see come to town.
