In Ward 1, it is considered the “Ghost Town” according to the structural look on the index provided. Adding restaurants and other places of attraction such as businesses or a park near the waterfront (like Burlington) or hikes or bowling alleys or other attractions would make an impact on that one uncared-for section of the town. This would also bring attention to the town from people surrounding Burlington as food chains or chain restaurants could also be there. This will make the community better as it utilizes the unused space and bring more tourism into the town. Since Ralston is on an island, it makes the competition for restaurants wanting to settle higher and make the town more modern and updated with potential new buildings. Having different wards of town makes the town more unique and potentially more appealing to people. The town already has a great and bonding community but adding more businesses would make it better.
