Ongoing construction and redevelopment in Aggieville continues to challenge to local businesses.

Earlier this summer, Manhattan Public Works closed off 12th Street between Moro and Laramie for utility replacement, causing major disruptions to the district. Aggieville Business Association executive director Dennis Cook says despite the disruptions, business owners are mindful that the project will yield positive results when finished.

“They can see the light at the end of the tunnel,” he said. “They know that by October or November, that stretch of 12th Street from Moro Street to the alley will get open and these people are going to have the biggest improvement of their lives.”
