As the fifth anniversary of George Floyd's death approaches, local business owners at the intersection of 38th and Chicago express growing concerns over the lack of a definitive plan for the area. Despite the significant attention and discussions surrounding the site, which has become a symbol of the Black Lives Matter movement, many entrepreneurs feel left in limbo.

The absence of a clear strategy for redevelopment and community engagement has created an atmosphere of uncertainty. Business owners are eager to see revitalization efforts that can support their operations and the community's needs. They worry that without a cohesive plan, the economic potential of the area may remain untapped, affecting their livelihoods and the local economy.

Many in the community hope that the plans will eventually materialize, bringing positive change and stability to George Floyd Square. However, until concrete steps are taken, the future remains uncertain for those who call this vibrant intersection home.
