Part 7/8:
In light of these closures and economic pressures, business owners emphasize the importance of community support. Norfolk encouraged local residents and visitors to continue patronizing establishments like Huddle Brewing Company, which plans to host a "Goodbye Arts District" event on December 13th. After this event, the brewery will operate on limited hours through the end of the year, with updated schedules posted on social media.
Community involvement is seen as a crucial factor in helping these local venues weather the storm. The owners express hope for a return to stability if residents and tourists alike continue to support small businesses amidst ongoing economic challenges.
