Developers and town officials cut the ribbon on the first phase of the Avon Village Center, a sprawling office, retail and residential development in the heart of Avon. The Sept. 1 ceremony marked the opening of a 44,000-square-foot Whole Foods at 50 Climax Road plus four other buildings totaling 57,000 square feet. The Avon Village Center occupies the space of the former Ensign-Bickford Corp., a long-time Avon employer that sold the property to Carpionato in 2011. The project is in prime space—near Town Hall off Route 44 at Route 10. The project’s next phase will be primarily residential with mixed use, Coates said.
