Midtown: Next Target For Renewal
Item: Meandering midtown: Business owners hope redevelopment will make things easier on shoppers/Patrick O'Brien, CDA Press
More Info: Long an important city thoroughfare, and once a thriving shopping district, midtown is slated for a major retrofit. This spring (a more definitive date has not been set), the city will begin work on the Fourth Street overlay. Later this summer -- contingent upon the economy -- construction could begin on a two- to three-story condominium unit that would cater to the workforce. While major redevelopment will never appease the entirety of the public, even given the economic doldrums, citizens seem acquiescent, as long as the project retains the flavor of the central neighborhood.
Question: When did you last stop at a Midtown business that wasn't named Capones?
