Apex Downtown Revamp Hits Hard
About this episode
Apex's downtown makeover is facing significant delays, impacting local businesses and traffic.
Apex’s downtown makeover on Salem Street is running late, straining local businesses and traffic alike. With new light poles and trees in the works, construction delays and shifting electrical plans have pushed the finish date past October. Sidewalks remain open, but one-way streets and reduced access have hurt foot traffic — enough to force Alleyway Bookstore to close June 6th, citing rising costs and dwindling customers. The mayor’s calling on residents to rally behind small businesses, warning many may face tough choices. While the vision is a prettier downtown, the road there’s been rocky — and community support may be the lifeline keeping things alive until the dust settles.
