DERBY >> A Shelton developer has set his sights on purchasing the defunct Lifetouch National School Studios property on Main Street in hopes of breathing new life into the long-vacant site.

Salemme said he expects to close a deal on purchasing the 26,000-square-foot building that sits on approximately 1.5 acres, for an undisclosed price, within the next month or so. Salemme was invited by the commission for an “informal” discussion on what the future could hold for the site.
