Eau Claire shares preview of downtown business report
EAU CLAIRE — A preview of downtown business activity reflects more than six years of data, as the City of Eau Claire’s Economic Development Division hopes to show how the entire district has evolved.Economic Development Specialist Kendall Williams said data tracking starts in 2021 and measures up to the end of 2026. A full report is expected to come out in the first quarter of 2027, detailed in five parts focusing on different downtown districts.“One will be for North Barstow Medical District, one will be South Barstow Medical District, one will be Water Street, one will be West Grand Avenue and then there will be one that combines all of the districts to make one downtown district,” she said.“The purpose of this is to establish a baseline because we have reports from all throughout the revitalization of downtown.
