What Should Replace the Old Foxborough Fire Station?

What would you like to see done with the old Foxborough Fire Station in the center of town?

Drive around Foxborough long enough and you’re bound to see an empty storefront or vacant building. But do you ever stop to envision what could move into town to fill that opening in town? We do and now we are asking you in our continuing series, "Visions for Vacancies." We'll showcase an empty storefront or building and ask you what should take up the space.
