Jerry Tully is eager to see the Queen Cityâs business district return to its glory days.
The Olyphant council vice president, Tully is encouraged by the recent flurry of new tenants and hopes the trend continues, despite the pandemic.
âWe want to build it back up like it used to be where you could walk through town and every product you could possibly want to purchase is available,â he said. âEverybody used to come to Olyphant to go shopping when I was a kid.â
Olyphant got its royal nickname for its compact, central business district that resembled a miniature city.
