As a small business owner, I’m excited about the area’s transformation. The mix of industrial and creative businesses creates a unique vibe. However, I’m concerned about rising rents pushing out long-time tenants. It’s crucial we find a balance between growth and preserving the district’s character. I hope city planners consider the needs of existing businesses as they shape the area’s future.
