ROUTE 53: Vacant properties drawing interest


If you have driven down Route 53 in Hanover within the past couple of months, which you clearly have. You have probably noticed that many of the buildings are abandoned, leaving the long stretch of Route 53 looking like a "ghost town". Town officials argue that Hanover is better than a ghost town though, and that they are thoroughly working on filling in the empty lots, to create a better feel to one of the most busiest areas in town. After to addition of Target Route 53 has become busier than ever. Some talk of small business trying to open up have been going around town hall. The old double drive through coffee shop across from JC's Dairy has the potential to become a small flower nursery. And the old carpet store is becoming a bakery and deli. Hopefully this is just the beginning to new businesses opening up on our ghost like main attraction, because I know that I am sick of driving down that long road everyday and seeing all the old abandoned buildings. Hopefully in the next couple of years if the economy starts to cooperate Route 53 will be seeing some new business.

  3. Lots of people just know Hanover as what they see on Route 53. It's an embarrassment for our town.
