2005

Some would say that Downtown is in the early stages of renaissance, a statement that is easily supported by the nearly $500 million in private and public investments going into Downtown; by the hip and dynamic new districts that are being developed by cooperative businesses, such as the G Street Art District and the SoNo District;
and by the new businesses that have joined the buzz in Downtown over the past year. 2005 also was very busy for Anchorage Downtown Partnership, Ltd.
