With its cool building art and businesses nearby, on the surface, the city’s Rail Yard District gives off a hip, urban vibe.

Despite its interesting history with the city and location encompassing multiple neighborhoods, some say it’s been ignored for too long. Jeff Edwards, who co-founded the Rail Yard District Business Council, knows firsthand. On Wednesday, hundreds of people packed the Glass Factory on Myrtle Avenue North for a special fundraiser aimed to make positive changes to the district. This included neighbors, city leaders, and business owners. The hope is to improve the district’s infrastructure, address the branding, attract more economic development, and improve the quality of life.“Try to move the agenda forward, and it is important,” Deegan said.
