In a recent Springfield News Leader story entitled “Downtown Branson motivated to change,” local Branson entrepreneur, Dimitrios Tsaharidis said, “If we don’t connect with the waterfront, we’re dead.” The “waterfront” referred to is the new Branson Landing Project located just down the hill from historic downtown Branson. Will the businesses of historic downtown Branson heed this warning? More importantly,where is the motivation for the restaurants and retail establishments in the new high rent Branson Landing Project to “connect,” with the restaurants and retail establishments located up the hill in historic downtown Branson?
