Impact analysis
The project would add 125 public parking spaces downtown and significant retail, but could displace small businesses that have operated on North Main Street for decades.
Residents gain housing, public parking, and revitalized retail on a underused block.
Existing commercial tenants — including a 25-year restaurant — face relocation costs and uncertainty during construction.
