Downtown business thriving amid concerns
PRINCE GEORGE – Many business owners have raised concerns about the state of Prince George’s downtown in regards to crime and safety, especially as businesses continue to leave the downtown core. However, Tyke Town, a daycare located right beside the Knox Performance Centre on 5th Avenue, is bucking the trend. Tyke Town Owner and Director Leah King says not only is she staying where she is, she’s expanding to two other downtown buildings nearby the already existing location.
“I enjoy downtown Prince George, there are some areas that are a bit more concerning, but where we are is is just like a normal downtown in any other city,” King said.
