BATAVIA – Batavia officials want to determine whether there is any interest in developing the city-owned Thomle building.

Since 1997, the city has owned the historical, 1876-built building at 2 E. Wilson St. in downtown Batavia. The city in the past has rented the space to businesses at a reduced rate to encourage new businesses into the downtown.

The latest incubator business, Simonetti Studios, recently moved from the Thomle building to a second-story loft space in the old City Hall building at 30 Shumway Ave.
