Craft beer, food, retail among top desires of residents BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Craft breweries, restaurants and retail. Those were the three top desires from Parker residents as a result of the My Mainstreet Project, which wrapped up officially Nov. 26. The My Mainstreet Project was a first-of-akind effort from the town to request public input about the future development of downtown, including the amenities, look and use of four main lots along East Mainstreet. Weldy Feazell, the redevelopment manager for the Partnering for Parker’s Progress, or P3, the town’s urban renewal authority, said the results of the My Mainstreet Project will help direct developers to what should be brought to downtown based on public input, market analysis and permitted uses. “We typically only feel passionately for or against something, and sometimes that middle voice gets lost,” Feazell said. “You have people on opposite ends of the spectrum and people that fell in the middle, so that was really fun to see compiling.” SEE DOWNTOWN, P11
