Farmington Storage is a climate-controlled self-storage facility at 155 Scott Swamp Road in Farmington, Connecticut, and the presenting sponsor of The Farmington Mercury. It is also, in the Mercury's framing, the only storage facility in Connecticut with Museum air: the level of care a museum's archives team would recognize, applied to whatever you've decided is worth keeping. That's what we mean by Museum air. Not a slogan. A level of care. Applied, here, to whatever you've decided is worth keeping. The facility offers climate-controlled units in every size, from a small locker up to oversized units, plus outdoor parking spaces. Every unit is climate-controlled, which at Farmington Storage is not an upgrade tier but the standard. Features include 24-hour surveillance, personal access codes, safety lighting, and real people on site during office hours. No appointment is needed. Tenants also have parking on site. The facility sits just off Route 6 and New Britain Avenue, minutes from the Farmington Valley Rail Trail, which makes it useful both as storage and as a place to leave a car before heading out on the trail. Reservations, real-time unit availability, the size calculator, and account management all live on farmingtonstorage.com. The site is the fastest path to renting a unit. To talk to a person, call during office hours. Farmington Storage is the Mercury's presenting sponsor. The Mercury exists because Farmington has a complicated civic life that takes time to explain, and someone has to do that work. Farmington Storage exists because Farmington also has a complicated relationship with the things people accumulate over decades, and someone has to do that work too. Both businesses operate on roughly the same principle: do it properly, and the result lasts. Farmington Storage's support is the reason the Mercury can pay for the kind of reporting that takes a long zoning meeting transcript and turns it into a piece a Farmington resident can read in five minutes. Their site's footer carries a Community / Local Journalism link pointing back here. The partnership runs both ways.

Farmington Green Efforts Committee Confronts the Cost of Food-Scrap Collection

Jack Beckett·

Farmington’s Green Efforts Committee is studying food-scrap collection after a potential hauler warned that the service would add a municipal cost, not produce savings. The committee still needs pricing, locations and evidence of resident demand before deciding whether to recommend a pilot.

Farmington Approves the West Avon Road Wetland Restoration, One Letter Short

Jack Beckett·

The wetland being restored at 114 West Avon Road does not stop at the property line. Farmington's Conservation and Inland Wetlands Commission tabled the plan on July 8 until both abutting owners sent letters of approval. Two weeks later it had one of the two, and approved anyway, without settling on the record what the missing letter is worth.

Farmington Police Log, August 4: One Arrest, Bond Posted

Jack Beckett·

The Farmington Police Department's arrest log for Tuesday runs one page and carries one name. Officer Richard E. Bianchi arrested a 32-year-old Meriden man on a warrant charging second-degree breach of the peace at 319 New Britain Avenue, which is the police station. Bond was set at $2,500 nonsurety, posted, with court set for August 18.

Early Voting Opens Monday. Here Is Your Ballot, and It Is One Race Long.

Jack Beckett·

Early voting for the August 11 primary runs Monday through Sunday in the third-floor training room at Farmington's new Town Hall. Democrats vote in one race, governor. Republicans vote in one race, the 5th District congressional primary. And 8,414 residents are not eligible to vote at all.

Farmington's New Website Costs Less Than Budgeted. Keeping It Costs Four Times as Much.

Jack Beckett·

The Farmington Town Council unanimously hired CivicPlus to rebuild the town's website for $61,690.98, about $13,300 under budget. Beginning in year two, keeping it running costs $48,902.68 a year, roughly four times what the town pays now, with a 5 percent annual escalator and automatic renewals. And if Farmington ever leaves, it keeps its data but loses the back end that runs the site.

Farmington Police Log, July 27 to 28: One Arrest, Secured by a Promise

Jack Beckett·

Farmington police made one arrest in 24 hours: a Bristol woman served on a breach-of-peace warrant at the police station and released on a written promise to appear, with the bond column recording $.00. It is the second consecutive log carrying exactly one arrest.

Farmington Police Log, July 24 to 27: Three Days of Quiet, One Page of Paperwork

Jack Beckett·

Across 72 hours, Farmington police made exactly one arrest: a 28-year-old charged with assault and disorderly conduct at his own Town Farm Road address, released on a bond secured by his signature. The log recording it runs one page, mostly margin, and lists a court date for the same morning the log was printed.

Farmington Historic District Commission Lets 7 Church Street Skip Its Fence

Jack Beckett·

The Farmington Historic District Commission approved a picket fence at 7 Church Street on May 19 and called it the last exterior detail on a house it had reviewed in stages since March 2025. On July 21 the owners said they would rather skip the fence and plant shrubs instead. That change came in as a planner's report, not an application, so there was no hearing, no vote, and no new certificate.

Farmington Historic District Commission Approves an Oil Tank Already Installed

Jack Beckett·

The new oil tank behind 772 Farmington Avenue was installed, the bollards reset, and the screening panel built and painted before the Farmington Historic District Commission ever voted on it. On July 21 the commission approved the work as presented, in under nine minutes, without a question about it. The owner apologized twice for the order of operations, and then made the only case for the work's appropriateness himself.

Farmington Police Log, July 21: A Firearm Theft Warrant and a $50,000 Bond

Jack Beckett·

A Hartford man was held on a $50,000 bond after being booked at Farmington police headquarters Tuesday on a warrant charging him with stealing a firearm and carrying a pistol without a permit. The log does not say what was taken, from whom, or when. A Bristol man arrested that evening at Route 6 and I-84 on an impaired-driving charge posted bond and was released.

Farmington Police Log, July 17 to 20: An Assault Arrest and Three Warrants Cleared

Jack Beckett·

A Hamden man was charged with assault and strangulation after a Saturday afternoon arrest on Batterson Park Road, and was the only person on the weekend log who did not post bond.

Farmington Seats a Building Committee for a $30 Million Fire Station Overhaul

Jack Beckett·

Farmington's newly seated Fire Station Building Committee held its first meeting Friday, taking control of a Town Council-scoped plan to build two new fire stations and renovate the historic Village firehouse for a total of $30 million to $35 million. The catch: none of it happens without a town referendum the committee is aiming to put on a 2027 ballot.

Farmington Zoning Commission Unanimously Rejects the 237-Home Riverfront Enclave

Jack Beckett·

Farmington's Town Plan and Zoning Commission unanimously rejected all four applications behind the Enclave at the Farmington River, the 237-home development proposed along the river between Farmington and Unionville. The vote, after a five-hour hearing and a unanimous negative recommendation from the Town Council, ended a nearly four-year effort and killed the largest residential proposal the town has weighed in years.
