Amid the current building boom, we take a look at the vision for Columbia's downtown and consider what it might mean to have hundreds of students living in the area.

Panelists:
Carrie Gartner, executive director, Downtown Community Improvement District.
John Ott, developer and owner of Alley A Realty and several downtown properties, including the Stephens Building at Broadway and Hitt.
Debbie Sheals, historic preservation consultant and founding member of the Columbia Historic Preservation Commission
