What happened elsewhere

York, PA · Royal Square District

Cheap floor space let untested operators start small

Frederick, MD · Carroll Creek Park district

Public infrastructure created the frontage private money then paid for

Royal Square District, York · 2012 → 2026

A cluster of vacant and underused buildings a few blocks south of Continental Square, cheap enough for small operators and close to an operating public market.

  • — Cheap floor space let untested operators start small
  • — An operating public market supplied the food-and-drink audience
  • — Housing above shops kept the district busy after 6pm
Carroll Creek Park district, Frederick · 1990 → 2026

A historic downtown split by a flood-prone creek, with buildings turning their backs on the water and weak evening trade.

  • — Public infrastructure created the frontage private money then paid for
  • — Water and shade turned a corridor into a destination
  • — Existing buildings needed only to turn around, not be replaced
