概要
Main Street wasn’t always the vibrant heart of Columbia, SC that it is today.
In this episode of The Soda Citizen Podcast, Brad Allen and Mary Lane Sloan sit down with Matt Kendall, Founding President and CEO of the Main Street District, to talk about the 25-year transformation of downtown Columbia and what’s coming next.
From nearly empty streets and closed storefronts to Soda City Market, student housing towers, luxury hotels, and major mixed-use developments, Matt shares how strategic investment, residential growth, and community events reshaped the city’s core.
We discuss:
- How downtown Columbia changed over the last two decades
- The impact of Soda City Market
- The rise of student and market-rate housing
- New projects like the Grand Bohemian Hotel
- Why “shopping bag retail” is the next focus
- Future development opportunities and vertical growth
- The role of Finlay Park and the riverfront
- Whether Columbia could support professional sports
If you care about where Columbia is headed whether you live here, invest here, or just love this city, this episode gives you an inside look at the people shaping its future.
