Route 132 Corridor Report - Cape Cod Commission

6. Economic Development
As discussed in the “Issues and Opportunities” section of this report, the
Town of Barnstable has several ongoing efforts to encourage redevelopment
and growth in the Hyannis Main Street area. In order to avoid
competition with the Main Street area, and to foster economic development
in both areas, the town should identify and encourage different uses
from those that are desirable in the Main Street Areas. To understand
this picture more fully, the Cape Cod Commission used ESRI’s Business
Analyst to explore the existing business mix in the corridor and Hyannis
Main Street, and to better understand the makeup of neighborhoods in
the vicinity of the two areas.
