Today, downtowns are filling a special niche: to be
places where people have an active, convenient lifestyle. Creating that place is integral to attracting
investment, as well as retaining and creating jobs because more businesses are locating and
expanding where people want to be —
and more of them want to be in vibrant, diverse cities where they can live, work, play and learn
within walkable distances. Greater Downtown is
the ideal location for such a place.
