The landlord, retired Avon police Sgt. Brett Eisenlohr, has donated use of about 2,500 square feet of the 20,000-square- foot former Specialty Coatings Solutions manufacturing building he owns at 205 Old Farms Road, at the corner of Sandscreen Road, Favarh Executive Director Stephen F. Morris said. The rest of the building is available for lease. Favarh (pronounced "FAY-var") employs about a dozen people with intellectual disabilities. For the past three years, Favarh's fire- wood operations were in the former auto body shop of the old Wagner Ford car dealership on Hopmeadow Street in Sims- bury. However, that property was recently sold, Morris said. Favarh's split and bundled firewood is then wholesaled to various supermarkets and gas stations in the Farmington Valley and beyond, he said. Favarh supports more than 350 people and fami- lies throughout the Greater Hartford region.
