Especially since in order to modernize buildings like the Dupont Building to make them attractable to modern-day tenants, it's just too expensive or some other crap excuse like that. It may be expensive, but you are telling me that you would rather see offices leave and watch the city fail vs spending a good amount and watch the city grow with offices and get that money back through growth. Also focus on the crime hotspots! It's great that they want to add street life to downtown, but I can almost guarantee that if they focus on the crime and actually do something about it, that would automatically make Wilmington more attractable for businesses.
