Business Concerns
What should the City improve upon in order to earn a higher score? (99 total responses)
• Recognize small business too!
• Recognize the need for parking. More people have more cars. The city should brainstorm and
find solutions not just put it off.
• Garbage fees for a 6 plex are excessive and unfair.
• Everything is getting too expensive. Only major chains can survive at these prices. Local
businesses need help financially or the city will become like every other trendy enclave.
• The parking and enforcement of parking. 20 minute parking for clients that is filled with workers
from other businesses make clients unhappy.
• It is nice to have a certain amount of growth, but it cannot be at the expense of what has made
this town such an oasis of community and neighborhood
