Business owners say battered Ballpark neighborhood is getting better

Roundtable discussion on how hate groups have taken to online platforms to gather, recruit, plan, and incite attacks on Jewish communities.A Ballpark neighborhood battered by vandalism, fights, and drugs — which has been the subject of 2News reports, is getting better said two area business owners on Thursday.

“I feel much safer,” said Michelle Goldberg, who has a dog boarding business near 250 West Paramount Avenue, across the street from the Gail Miller Homeless Resource Center. “We’ve seen a decrease in drug dealing, drug usage, urination, defecation, fights in the street with weapons.” Just a few months ago, Goldberg was telling a different story, visibly frustrated with what she said was lack of response from the city over her parking lot being used as a toilet.Chief Brown addresses crime concerns in Salt Lake City's Ballpark neighborhoodBut Goldberg said since, police have stepped up their presence, and Sgt. Nate Meinzer — leader of the patrols near the shelter—has “made a huge difference.

Bob Danielson, who owns a munitions company in the area, had been sharply critical of what he said is city inaction. But Danielson said Meinzer has launched neighborhood events to bring businesses and the homeless face-to-face and build trust—a barbecue, movie night and Halloween party.
