The value of properties along the West Street Corridor has declined significantly due to the expansion of the Towne Center and Westfield Mall, which has led to an 11% drop in commercial occupancy, translating to an annual $48 million loss for property owners. While the effects of national economic declines are known, the local effects along the West Street Corridor pose an even greater threat, with property values estimated to fall by 10-30% over the next 2-3 years. A new program led by the city and promoted by the mayor is needed to increase foot traffic to the corridor and restore commercial activity to revitalize the area.
