Droves of tourists will flock to Asheville, North Carolina this summer and many business owners are worried about the Pack Square Park construction project downtown. The owners had a meeting with the organization in charge to get updated on the project’s status. They are hoping to be able to stay open despite all the construction that surrounds the area.
The owners are anxious to see what impact the project will have on their business. A six-foot fence is to be erected around the area and bother Market Street and Spruce Street will be repaved. Though the details of when have not been released. The paving could substantially reduce parking around the concerned businesses.
Adding to delays in completion is the fact that no contract for building the park’s pavilion has been obtained. And construction time for that is estimated at about 10 months.
Many Asheville Entrepreneurs owners want to work with the local chamber of commerce to work out a plan that will include marketing to boost visitors to the struggling businesses.
