Back to Business in Eastown!

As many of you may know already, on Tuesday, February 26, there was an explosion and fire in the building located at 1500/1502 Wealthy Street. Some neighboring businesses were closed briefly due to loss of utilities, but nearly all have reopened. Wealthy Street is now open; Eastown is safe and accessible.

All businesses are now open!

Throughout this experience, Eastown's community spirit has shown through as residents and businesses rally around those that have been most affected. We would like to sincerely thank the heroic efforts of the community police officers and firefighters.
