New Look for Old Route 83 Greenhouse

The building is being marketed for business.

The old greenhouse in the old garden center in the hottest development corridor in Vernon is getting a facelift. 

The vacancy sits in the 400 block of Talcottville Road and for some time, workers have been removing the glass and metal frame facade and replacing it with a more traditional look. 

Talcottville Road is the local name for that stretch of state Route 83.

Vernon Economic Development Coordinator Shaun Gately said the building's owners are beginning to market it more aggressively. 

He said there have been several inquiries about the property. 

That stretch of Talcottville Road has been hotbed of development. It is anchored by Tractor Supply and new neighbors include Cumberland Farms, Scooter Pros and a new home for a longtime Verizon store. 

Construction is under way for a new Dollar general store on that portion of the road.
