Visions for Vacancies: Fawcett's Building, City Dock
Co-owner Richard Terhorst wants Annapolis to rezone the old Fawcett Boat Supplies location on Compromise Street from maritime to commercial.
What kind of business would you like to see in this location? Tell me in the comments. The building at 110 Compromise St. has sat empty for more than two years, but co-owner Richard Terhorst said it's not because he hasn't had offers. "I've had banks, restaurants and commerical business all inquire about the site," Terhorst said. The problem is that the location is zoned for maritime use rather than commercial. That limits the kind of business Terhorst and co-owner Greg Kaufman can rent to. Once Fawcett Boat Supplies closed, the two men asked the city to re-zone the property commercial. Nearly a year ago, the city's Planning Commission voted unanimously to allow commercial zoning of the property, but that's where the process came to a halt…
