Asset mapping is a new technology to help us improve the business district. Mapping Interns from Alternatives, Inc., in partnership with Uptown United, recently gathered information on the Uptown Business Community.

The purpose of this project is to give us accurate information for community planning. This information will be used to identify current uses and potential jobs. If we understand our current assets, we can create a business district that serves all our needs.
