Firehouse may offer much needed housing
Worker housing opportunity
Posted: October 31, 2017 by Elizabeth Wilson
POLE SET TO STAY
Fancher said she expects businesses will start coming forward in the coming weeks to inquire about the fire station, which is located at 351 Benchmark Road. The space can accommodate up to 12 individuals in its eight bedrooms and four bathrooms.
"If it were an Avon business, I think a hotel or even City Market would find it useful," Fancher said. "But it can be any business in the valley who wants it."
Avon is currently in the process of turning over the building to make it ideal for its new residents, and Avon Town Manager Virginia Egger said the plan is to leave the fire pole in the building unless the new leaseholder wants it removed. Pets will not be allowed.
As of Friday, Oct. 27, no businesses had yet come forward to inquire about housing employees in the space, Egger said.
"What often happens is businesses work to deadlines," Egger said. "This is one where businesses need to do some penciling before they get too far."
The deadline to apply is Saturday, Nov. 11, Egger said. The initial lease will be from Dec. 15, to Sept. 15, 2018. For more information, contact Avon Planning Director Matt Pielsticker at 970-748-4413 or mpielsticker@avon.org.
