Salem Business Owners Express Disappointment Over Main Street Closure
Salem business owners have voiced their concerns about the recent closure of Main Street, claiming it had a negative impact on their sales. They feel that the communication from the city could be improved to better support local businesses during such disruptions.
"The closure has been a challenge for us," said one business owner, emphasizing the lack of awareness among customers. Many regular clients were unable to reach the businesses, leading to a noticeable drop in sales.
In light of this, business owners are advocating for better communication strategies from the city to ensure that such closures are effectively managed and promoted. They believe this could include direct notifications, alternative route guidance, and increased visibility to mitigate the economic impact on local businesses.
