Even though the pandemic slows down many efforts in 2020, the City of Wichita continues to make downtown the place to be. Many driving on Douglas in the area in the last few years may have noticed its continued growth and development both visually and economically. Older and mostly unoccupied office buildings along the downtown strip are starting to see new life as apartments, hotels, parking lots, and new commercial and retail spaces. The City of Wichita says it will continue to develop and re-purpose areas near downtown, Oldtown, and Delano to encourage economic growth by promoting foot traffic, adding aesthetic value, and finding space for those who want to enjoy downtown working and living.
