Zoning permits ALL bed-and-breakfasts and retail uses, restaurants and bars, galleries, artist studios, office buildings, a bonus dwelling unit, shared accommodations without parking requirements, and more. Investments could include adding more dwelling units to the existing duplex, and pursuing new construction or renovating the other half of the property for commercial purposes (it has the garage/kitchen plus appx. 450' sq ft of recreation space / vacant land abutting Main St).
