The owner of the Lafayette Towers Shopping Center strip mall better fall into step by providing necessitiy stores to fill up those empty storefronts. It was said that the owner of the strip mall charges a high price to rent space. He or they better rethink their rates. The market is a beginning but more specialties stores will be needed to accomadate potential new residents who will move into the area due to the incentives. I bakery, pharmacy,coffee shop, cleaners, Bo Rics type salon and maybe a restaurant opening where Lafayette/Orleans club once was. Residents would not need to go outside of the area for the basic needs.
