Longview small business venue aims to revitalize aging section of city
LONGVIEW, Texas (KLTV) – An effort to revive an often forgotten section of one East Texas city’s roadways is underway.
Over decades, the old brick section of Methvin Street and 6th Street in Longview had been abandoned. Businesses left and many of the buildings remain boarded up and crumbling.
But some business owners are trying to breath life back into the old section through a coalition called The Platform.
The brain child of business owner Mandy Brasher, who took a risk and bought one of the buildings and starting bringing in vendors.
Everything from clothing, jewelry and keepsakes to arts and crafts are offered. Numerous vendors have joined in to invigorate business in the area.
Brasher spoke about why it was an opportunity she didn’t want to pass up.
