Four Part Series in the Herald Sun on Downtown Redevelopment


Source: Wikipedia

*Updated* The Herald Sun is running a four-part series, titled "A Slow Renaissance"' about the development of Downtown. The series begins with an overview of downtown development, a progress report on the Sun Trust tower, and the redevelopment status of Parrish Street. The last article covers the status of the Chesterfield Building (next to Brighleaf square). Although the articles do not break any new ground, they provide a good synopsis of the last year and a half of downtown progress. Ninth Street and OWD are very close to downtown and will obviously benefit from its continued economic development. And while I strongly believe in "a rising tide lifting all boats" theory of economic development, I worry that the Ninth Street area, and particularly continued development of the Phase II of Ninth Street North, may not be getting as much attention from the city officials as, perhaps, it should.
