To say the least, the renovation of the historic Carlisle Building has spurred business owners to make remarkable improvements in their store fronts, as well as entice new restaurants and shops to downtown Chillicothe.
Mayor Luke Feeney says the renaissance has been two-fold, as activity has gone from "saving a historic building to making an investment in the downtown". More live decorations, new restaurants and locally owned retail shops are among the big changes greeting those visiting downtown Chillicothe.
Angle parking has also added many spaces for people wanting to spend time in the downtown.
