What Should Replace the Auditorium at the Former Foxborough State Hospital?

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. This is your place to sound off and have your say about local businesess and open spaces.

This week, we turn our attention to a building that has been dormant for decades – the old auditorium of the former Foxborough State Hospital on Payson Road behind Foxborough's Public Safety Building and across the street from Chestnut Green.

Foxborough Town Planner Sharon Wason said she hopes the town can find something "interesting" to fill the space. What would you like to see fill the vacant spot? Let us know what you think in the comment section below!
