The Downtown Florence Community Tour is set to take place tonight, March 3, at 6:00 PM. The event offers residents a chance to share ideas for revitalizing vacant and underused spaces in the downtown district. Participants will gather at the James Allen Plaza located at 119 S. Dargan St.
In collaboration with Place + Main Advisors, LLC and local property owners, the initiative aims to develop a retail market analysis and real estate redevelopment strategy for Downtown Florence. This project seeks to gain insights into visitor trends, identify viable uses for available spaces, and evaluate property conditions to support those uses.
During the walking tour, attendees will visit five vacant or underused properties. The team from Place + Main will lead discussions on potential opportunities for each space.
Organizers emphasize that public input is crucial for this effort. While the event is free, participants are advised to wear comfortable walking shoes.
