Analytic Information for Downtown Fuquay-Varina

Recently FVDA was able to ask Main Street to compile analytic data for our downtowns. Their process was created with the help of Placer AI. Placer AI is a location intelligence and foot traffic data software. It uses machine learning and data science to generate accurate foot traffic analytics. Below is the information compiled about Downtown Fuquay over a 12-month period.
