What is Derby doing about the decaying Dworkin Chevrolet building on Seymour Avenue? It looks horrid from the front and from Route 8, is CLEARLY blight with part of the façade falling off and garbage (such as old sofas) being dumped behind it clearly visible from the highway. Certainly the ownership has to be ordered to clean up the property or take down the buildings that are falling apart if they can't be sold. It looks awful to anyone passing by on the highway.

Also coming up on the approuch is Derby’s Waste Treatment facility polluting the Housatonic River and Long Island Sound for the summer season. Expected temps this year we will all catch a wiff of Derby's best over the Route 8 bridge on fermentation days.
That is another topic for the town to correct quite possibly placing the town into a status of a Point-Of-No-Return.
Suggestion: Give Up now, regionalize or risk a State take over.

Still, regionalizing the Valley towns into one city is a good idea, despite the source.

Thank you "William".
Now can we discuss what Derby is doing about this? The trash continues to pile up, the graffiti gets worse and I swear a chunk of the façade falls off once a week in back. The owner needs to repair and clean the site or, even better, raze the buildings and attempt to sell it as a vacant lot. The chances of a car dealer locating there (what the buildings are designed for) is slim at best. It's a new development site.

I was happy to see this thread. I spotted this on Route 8 last week. I HOPE Derby is working with the property owners swiftly. At the very least the building furthest to the right (if you are on the highway) needs to have the dumped sofa and other trash cleaned up. The fact that part of the façade has fallen off and there is no graffiti on the building is a bigger issue.
I understand selling an old multi-building car dealership site is next to impossible these days. I can't think of ANY retailer who would be interested in that site so it probably will be redeveloped back into something residential. However, it can't be left this way

I take it Derby is having some problems resolving this?
I swear the trash pile behind the building is growing higher... and more graffiti.
