How Montclair built a thriving downtown

The efforts of the Montclair Center Business Improvement District have helped to transform the city's downtown.

The community cared about Montclair and worked together for it to succeed

I might move to montclair next summer.

[@spike1422]

Don't. Most of the businesses in the neighbourhood are closing or closed. This hipster Hell-hole is circling the drain.

J .Blackburn shut the fuck up Montclair is nice.

[@mattfrostii1114]

J .Blackburn upper Montclair is much better than downtown

I'm thinking fooling there too someday because it's a great town especially for guys my age.

@@mattfrostii1114 That's where the University is but downtown is just as good because there's a bunch of restraunts and grocery stores like Whole Foods plus The Art Museum too.

I hate that they call the area around Bloomfield Ave “downtown” when it’s the center of the town.

[@CrossOfBayonne]

There is a likely chance that Montclair might one day become a powerhub like Newark or Jersey City.

Montclair was SAFE in the 70' & 80's except for Pine Street Area. That was always shaky

[@joelonzello4189]

With the extra Carbon Foorprints ?

[@larsini0]

half of downtown is empty storefronts, this video is a joke

[@nicoleboulter5004]

Why is it so empty of businesses?

Rents are very high
