[Winona Online Democracy] I also believe that companies with a significant number of office type jobs can be attracted to Winona in the services business sector like insurance center, leasing companies, claims processing, telemarketing operations, travel reservation centers office staff etc. into the downtown area. The employees of these businesses consume food, services and do shop close to their offices when retail businesses cater to their needs.
Zoning regulations and low interest loans can also be used to direct office development into the city core area. The single biggest problem however is convenient parking.

It will serve the downtown a lot better to put in nice condos and lofts rather than packing in a ton of college students.
