In response to increasing frustrations over crime, local business owners in the Broadway area are advocating for the establishment of a general improvement district. This initiative would enable businesses and residents to impose a self-tax to finance enhanced security measures and maintenance services in the neighborhood.
The proposal comes as many merchants express growing concerns about safety and the overall environment of the area. By pooling resources through a self-imposed tax, the community aims to create a safer and more inviting atmosphere for both customers and residents.
Supporters of the improvement district believe that additional security and maintenance could significantly deter criminal activity and improve the overall quality of life in the neighborhood. As discussions continue, local business owners are hopeful that this initiative will lead to a revitalization of the area, fostering a stronger sense of community and encouraging more foot traffic to their establishments.
