During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around an upcoming downtown event and its potential impact on local businesses. Oliver Downs and Miss Bunner were queried about expected attendance, highlighting the event's capacity to draw visitors to the area. The conversation emphasized the positive economic implications for downtown businesses, particularly during festivals that typically attract large crowds.
It was noted that many businesses in the square close by noon on Saturdays, which is when the event is scheduled. This raised questions about the potential disruption to business operations. However, it was pointed out that only a few establishments, such as a coffee shop and Flossy's restaurant, would remain open during the event. The meeting participants expressed optimism that the event could still benefit local businesses, especially with the involvement of food providers like Flossy's and retail shops like Hallmark, which could see increased foot traffic.
Overall, the discussions reflected a balance between promoting community events and supporting local commerce, with a focus on maximizing benefits for downtown businesses while minimizing any potential disruptions.
