The mayor said Gather 242 lines up with downtown growth plans like Point Park — if 2,000 occupants come downtown in the next few years, this project helps grow Old Manatee and shows buildings there can be successfully remodeled.

Gave a preview of the Gather 242 food hall on 13th Street — seven private chef vendors, a rooftop garden, and a restored 1922 building — not seeking approval yet, just introducing the project.
