Some local business owners in Sugar House say they’re struggling amid road construction on Highland Drive and think the city needs to do more to mitigate their losses.
Greg Gage, owner of Black Cat Comics at 2261 S. Highland Drive, said that the street “has been just a mess” by the shopping center where Black Cat is located, near the Cinemark movie theater, Target, Michaels and other shops and restaurants.
“Unfortunately, the construction had cost me more than the grant was,” Gage said, adding that his totals were down $5,000 or $6,000 the same month he received the $3,000. The situation is dire not just for Black Cat Comics but for other Salt Lake City businesses close to construction, he said. “We’re hurting.”In the meantime, Gage is selling more online and doing “everything I can” to try and make ends meet.
