“They’re so friendly here and so welcoming to her [daughter] because…I mean, little kids are all over the place,” Lem said. “Everyone is so nice and welcoming to both of us, and we just feel like family. It’s really refreshing.”
Extra exposure is especially important for Garland businesses this year, as downtown Garland is in the midst of a major revitalization project complete with road closures, detours, limited parking and a little dust in the air. Hunter Williams with the city’s Downtown Development office said the goal is to support current businesses operating downtown and inspire growth. Right now, there are upwards of 80 small businesses downtown.
“Once that project is complete, we’ll have a brand new plaza, lots of really great features, as well as a streetscape. So, once the project is done, it’s going to be bring a lot of excitement to an already exciting place. That is downtown Garland,” Williams said.“Garland really deserves this,” she said. “If you can see the end, then that kind of motivates you to get going. Keeping a positive attitude always helps.
