DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT

Diverse and walkable downtowns that actively supported the business community through innovative policies and programs were better able to rebound as the economy reopened.” (example they used for this webinar – revitalization of 52nd street). She also stated that main streets had businesses that were able to thrive during the Pandemic, and unfortunately, some had to close. She also of the panelists gave suggestions about how to attract foot traffic to your main street and keep them there which would also help ensure that the regions downtowns are more resilient to future economic upsets by working to grow and what would also help capitalize on today’s trends: Have a good mixture of old and new businesses (Hatboro has this),Have chain stores anchor your town and two the chain stores he used as examples were McDonalds and Dollar Tree /Store/Family Dollar, and gaming is very popular and therefore an arcade or gaming business was the suggestion used for keeping up with “trends” (Hatboro has The Laboratory since 2015 and on York Road since 2017)
Secretary Bollendorf also stated that twice a month updates continue to go out to Business owners and Property Maintenance has been a focus and will continue to be due to the farmers markets, cruise nights, and the car show coming up during the summer.

Secretary Bollendorf stated that she just wanted to point out that due to circumstances beyond our control, unfortunately Hatboro had a decent amount of vacancies and our previous DDD created a list of these vacancies 9/2020 and since then she was happy to report that she has removed 14 properties from this list. This does not count new businesses that have come into the Borough and reoccupied space immediately after a tenant vacated and that this was a list that was created where most of the properties on it had been vacant for some time. We have been receiving calls regarding uses for some of the remaining properties so stay tuned for more new businesses in the Borough!
