206 Public Square, Columbia, KY is set for major improvements Business Update: Downtown Columbia business activity brings hope that this may be the Year of the Square. This update on Nanwood, M & P Variety moves - plus an idea to add additional impetus for new small business innovation. Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Linda Waggener Sandy Conover and her daughter, Luci Irvin, are moving their business, Nanwood Market, from 209 Merchant Street to the Public Square and hope to be open for business by their June 1, 2018 first anniversary. At the same time Nanwood was needing more space, Mary and Pete Davis who had the large building at 206 Public Square had been wanting to downsize. They are now moving their business to the other side of the courthouse in the little red building by the barber shop. The mother-daughter team are taking 206 back to its original front and interior as much as funds will allow. They hope to use the original 8’ tall doors stored in the basement and they are uncovering the original windows in the front. They said their first year in business has been great and the support of the community has enabled them to expand their home decorating, faux floral, small gifts and wedding registry. They are looking to possibly offer more lines in the future. As for the other buildings ... As for other buildings in Columbia's historic downtown, I'm hanging onto my dream for a not-for-profit Business Incubator in one of the vacant downtown buildings -- a service management business with rentable office booths and/or rooms. The anchor/owner business would rent to entrepreneurs for a reasonable fee and would offer receptionist/secretarial/accounting/marketing services, priced separately as needed. The Busiess Incubator would be intentionally designed to support new and small businesses, helping them survive and grow through vulnerable early stages of development. We have the empty buildings just waiting for repurposing. We have people who need help with ideas and/or new businesses, and we have people who need jobs from new and developing small companies. I believe Columbia is ready for a Business Incubator. This story was posted on 2018-04-02 00:02:19
