Although the COVID-19 pandemic slowed many aspects of life down last year, local officials continued to work on revitalizing downtown Hazard and expanding the businesses located in the area. In recent months, much of that work has shown with multiple new businesses opening downtown and several more scheduled to open within the next few months. Among the new businesses set to open this year are salons, restaurants and more, said local leaders.
Downtown Coordinator Bailey Richards said recently-opened businesses are being celebrated for their success so far. Some of the recently opened businesses in downtown include Coal Country Candles which opened in December 2020 and is across from the City Hall parking lot; Studio Be Yoga and Fitness Studio which opened on Jan. 26 and is located in the former NMotion Yoga Studio; B. Nichole Photography, located in the North Fork Building above the Public Defenders Office, and was opened downtown on Feb. 9; and Shear Happiness that opened on March 4 and is next to the candle shop across from the City Hall parking lot.
