I had forgotten about this. But now that you all have sparked my memory let's reopen the debate on changing the zoning on 202. I believe with commercial development encroaching rapidly we as a town need to rethink zoning regulations.
The south end is rapidly becoming the more populous area of town. New home construction in bakerville and nepaug has outpaced construction in the the center and pine meadow 2-1 in recent years. Torrington is much larger city than Winsted making Rte. 202 a more critical traffic corridor. Isn't it inevitable that 202 and Bakerville will become the defacto center of town.
We need to commercialize this area and quickly. We can take advantage of the traffic that now merely zooms through town on it's way to Torrington and Canton. Why should they get all the Walmart's and Target's. There is always space for a Starbuck's, a Dunkin Donuts. Where is the nearest Chili's
There are a number of areas that could easily be developed with little site work. Harrison's farm (I believe that is the one next to the Torrington Line) is nice but that is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg. We need to do what we can to get this done and done fast. I will be there on the 16th to formally petition P&Z to change the regs. Proggress people progress.

I will do just that. I do live nearby and would love the services. If you promise to give me your support I will put a box in my backyard. Unfortunately I only have a couple acres but if you change my zoning, I'll put in a Lowes faster than you can say Maytag. So you there Nov. 16th.

What's this I heard you want to put in an adult store? You might want to pass that by Mrs. J first.

i do not support that type of development that is old hat. it just does not work! but your so behind times it is going to take awhile if ever for you if you can, figure that out! good luck with your couple of acres or whatever. maybe you can stick lowes and another kohls and what other crapy box stores there are out there. i will be rooting for you.
