A group of eight businesses located near George Floyd Square has initiated legal proceedings against the city of Minneapolis. Attorney Michael Healey, who represents all the business owners involved in the lawsuit, elaborated on the reasons behind this legal action, emphasizing the financial hardships faced by his clients.
The businesses argue that their operations have been severely impacted due to the ongoing changes in the area following the events surrounding George Floyd's death. Healey highlighted the significant loss of revenue and customer foot traffic that these establishments have experienced, attributing this decline to various factors, including increased security measures and changes in local infrastructure.
