2010-03-29: There is talk of renovating many things in Thompsonville, now that the CT DOT is bringing a Transit Center to town. The Transit Center will be all of 2 blocks from the old Strand Theater. Check out the Town’s website at enfield.org or http://www.enfield-ct.gov for more information about the the Thompsonville Transit Center. Eventually, the Transit Center will be located next to the railroad tracks that run through town. Commuter and coach bus services, along with taxi services and commuter train services (between New Haven-Hartford-Springfield) will all be based out of the Transit Center. The Transit Center will be across the tracks from the Bigelow Commons apartment complex. I would say that NOW is a perfect time to renovate this old theater, re-open some retail spaces on North Main Street and help revitalize Downtown Enfield and the Thompsonville Business District!
