I hope you are enjoying this beautiful stretch of weather.
This past week saw some very positive news regarding hiring trends and an increase in the stock market.
Let’s hope that continues.
This issue features some great content regarding economic development

Oh and remember - don’t argue with people on social media. Growing up, every classroom had a kid who ate paste. Chances are, that is who you are arguing with.
Make sure to support your local businesses!
Be Well. Stay Safe. Stay Sane!
