Visions For Vacancies: What Do You Want To See Fill This Space?

In this new feature, The Granbys Patch asks readers to propose ideas for empty storefronts and buildings in Granby and East Granby. What business have you always wanted to see in your hometown?

The Granbys Patch is starting a new weekly post called Visions For Vacancies.

In this feature, we show Patch users empty buildings and storefronts in Granby and East Granby and ask what you want to see fill those spaces.

Do you want a specialty shop catering to your favorite hobby in your hometown? Do you think there’s a type of business Granby or East Granby needs to have inside its borders?

This is your chance to share your ideas and have them seen by public officials, local entrepreneurs and other community members who read The Granbys Patch. Your idea may be the inspiration for a prospective local business owner — maybe you’ll even see the perfect location for the small business you’ve always wanted to open!

This week, we’re featuring the vacant spot between Dr. Energy Saver and the brand-new Artistic Sacrifice tattoo parlor in the East Granby Center Shops on Route 20. The spot, formerly occupied by XL Color, a printing company, is one of the few empty spots at the shops.
