We want to bring more restaurants/entertainment and increase the things to do here on weekends/ keep dollars in the community, but in order to make the location attractive to restaurants, we will need traffic, which comes from more density of residents and businesses.
Background
- Some participants thus far have described Worthington as sleeping Monday-Thursday.
- Others have said we have too many pizza shops, banks and salons.
- Surveyed residents have said that are leaving to take their visitors to Downtown Columbus, the Short North and Dublin for more variety.
- A former restaurant owner involved in the Business Focus Group stated that Worthington needs more body heat and increased density to generate more restaurants/retail.
Key Questions:
- Why do you think the location is NOT attractive to restaurants today?
- What kinds of incentives can we offer to make it more attractive to these businesses?
- What kinds of restaurants/entertainment match Worthington's "Style" or what kinds of restaurants/entertainment do you seek?
- Would you be willing to increase density in residential and office development if it could bring additional restaurants and retail to the City?
