A Connecticut-based CBD company is proposing to renovate the former Poquonnock Bridge fire station at 13 Fort Hill Road into a gathering space with drinks and food, live music, and a CBD retail operation.
New England Hemp Farm would turn the building into its headquarters, dubbed "The Barn," for people to socialize and also learn more about CBD, said Brian Edmonds, the company's CEO and co-founder.
"We hope to create a very welcoming space that is very inclusive of the community," Edmonds said.
