Up to You: French Worsted

If it were up to you, what would you like to see happen to the soon-to-be-razed Hamlet Avenue property?

From Main Street to Diamond Hill Road to Fairmount Street, Woonsocket has more than its fair share of vacant buildings and empty properties. Some have been empty for years while others see a rotating crop of businesses.

But, if it were up to you, what would you like to see happen to these spaces? Each week, we'll feature one empty building, lot or area in Woonsocket and ask our readers what they'd like to see there.

A mini-mall? A community center? A Thai restaurant? A movie theater? What do you want?

This week: the former French Worsted Mill property. Demolition has begun on this 6.6 acre complex and soon the historic brick buildings will be nothing but a memory. If it were up to you, what should happen to this property?
