Is Grand Avenue thriving or dying? Some businesses close while others report brisk sales

The vacancies along Grand Avenue are “not a sign that the avenue isn’t working,” Crowell said. “It is a sign that [STRS Ohio] isn’t working with the avenue.”
The six recommended actions called for:
- Improving the pedestrian experience
- Focusing on accessibility and parking
- Protecting the livelihoods of small businesses by slowing taxes and other costs
- Planning for future density, open space, residential and commercial areas
- Convening local leaders to generate new sources of revenue for investment in infrastructure
- Developing solutions for vacant storefronts through short-term tax relief or other means.
