Shopping Desert Construction at Clay Terrace Mall delayed VIYANG HAO Q&A, PHOTO
Q&A HARUKA YOSHIMURA, EMPLOYEE AT COLD STONE CREAMERY AND JUNIOR
What changes might we see happen to Clay Terrace from construction once it takes place? I think the parking lot in front the of stores are going to get bigger and easier to get in since right now the parking spots right outside (stores are) pretty small. All I can hope (once construction is done) is that the parking spaces get easier to navigate.
Since the governor of Indiana has announced a plan to slowly reopen the economy, how will that affect businesses in Clay Terrace? I think for the (first) few months we won’t have a lot of customers because stores will only be half-open but after stage five, I think most businesses (in Clay Terrace) would go back to normal. I think that all companies (there) will be doing better after stage five but I cannot confirm or deny that. (I should also mention that) even if when it becomes stage five, people should still be careful and wash their hands and wear masks because the virus may still be present.
Once construction is finished and assuming that it is safe to go outside, how do you think the changes will impact customers? I should clarify that I don’t know when construction is going to start or finish because of (COVID-19) but I think more customers would come because after construction, the streets (around the Clay Terrace area) would be cleaner and more people would want to come shop which may encourage more people to come eat ice cream.
