Old Town Cape, Inc. to host annual Downtown Commercial Property Open House

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KBSI) – Old Town Cape, Inc. will host the annual Downtown Commercial Property Open House on Thursday, May 2.

It starts at 5 p.m. and lasts until 7 p.m.

Participants can tour a wide variety of commercial buildings located in downtown Cape that are available for sale or lease.

The event is hosted by Old Town Cape’s Economic Vitality committee, which focuses on capital, incentives, and other economic and financial tools to assist new and existing businesses, catalyze property development, and works to create a supportive environment for entrepreneurs and innovators that drive local economies.

“Our goal as a committee is simple: to retain and empower our current downtown business and to facilitate growth and welcome new businesses,” said Blake Lingle, the chair of the Economic Vitality Committee. “We are consistently identifying ways to evolve our role as a resource in assisting existing businesses, encouraging people to shop local downtown and with this event; to give a platform for people interested in joining the downtown community to be able to do so. I highly encourage anyone interested to come check out, not only the available commercial properties, but also the amazing downtown we are fortunate to have,” said Lingle.

Anyone who owns a commercial property within the Old Town Cape district and would like for it to be included is asked to contact Liz Haynes at 573-334-8085 or lizhaynes@oldtowncape.org.

This event is free and open to the public. There is no registration required. Participants can visit properties in any order they wish.

Representatives will be at each location to answer questions and to help navigate the property.

Maps of the open house properties will also be available at each stop.
