Leading Fairfield’s downtown renaissance

More than an office furniture showroom, AWOF is a big economic boost for downtown Fairfield. Foster, who served on the Fairfield City Council, is excited about contributing to downtown’s renaissance.

“We’ve got a beautiful Main Street that I don’t think gets highlighted enough. That’s what really drew me to this. I’m excited about the idea of bringing a different type of business to the city that could help generate some sales tax revenue and also provide employment locally too as well.”
