Plans to develop Downtown Southington got a huge boost recently, with comparisons drawn to nearby West Hartford Center. This is a fantastic opportunity for the town of Southington, CT.

Here are the details: The Greenway Commons project $50 million plan calls for 263 owner-occupied residential units and 22,000 square feet of downtown retail space on the 14-acre site of the vacant Ideal Forging complex on Center Street. However, the new complex may have the biggest effect on the business community.

Downtown shops, eateries, and business owners are looking forward to the increased foot traffic, open space, and what it means for their businesses- AND SO AM I!

I am very passionate about downtown revitalization. West Hartford did a magnificent job with their Blue Back Square. Southington is next with Greenway Commons!

As many of you know, I am a huge supporter of revitalization and redevlopment of traditional downtown areas. I love the idea of walking from store to store, restaurant to restaurant, filling a day with all the things that a community has to offer.

Many of these redevoped areas end up being investor hotspots for real estate. Opportunity knocks when businesses and consumers flock.

Thomaston, CT has so much going for it. It has location (being right on Route 8 and Route 6). It has water, with the Naugatuck River flowing through, and it has old world charm. The Thomaston Opera House (pictured below) is host to theatre and arts throughout the year. New events like Hollywood movie filmings, Thomas the Train, and an influx of youthful exuberance have given Thomaston a fresh buzz.

It certainly is a beauty to see the town light up in the winter (The entire downtown lights their buildings with white light). With a greenery proposed for the banks of the river, Thomaston is a town itching for investors both commercial and residential, as well as residents who want all that a great small town offers.

If you are interested in learning more about Thomaston, CT real estate, and homes for sale, I will be happy to assist.

I recently had a discussion with a friend who now calls West Hartford CT his home. He and his wife, along with his two children are incredibly happy and thrilled with their community.

All too often, you hear about the taxes of CT and the expense of living here. Well, that is often tied to feelings of value. We don't mind paying for things when we know they are worth it... and that is the case for West Hartford, CT. (If you missed my past post about Blue Back Square and West Hartford Center.. here it is: http://activerain.com/blogsview/316349/West-Hartford-CT-Real )

Their school system is rivaled by almost all towns in CT. Teachers seek jobs here, parents seek homes here, and students get an education like no other.

I could make this a long winded blog about each area, neighborhood, and school... but there are handy links directly to the West Hartford school website!
