Impact analysis
If the crowds don’t show, downtown bars and shops could miss out on the extra sales and tax revenue the district was supposed to generate.
Bars and restaurants that can sell drinks for outdoor strolls—and patrons who like the open-container perk—stand to gain if the district catches on.
Downtown businesses that expected a crowd bump are the ones feeling the letdown so far.
