Our communities are growing, and economically that’s a really great thing! But let’s face it, life has gotten a lot more challenging, for everyone, even for small town folks. We sorely need quality and affordable childcare, public transportation (in some form) and housing at reasonable costs. Families with children of all ages need quality activities to keep them
engaged in a positive manner.
We’ve got young workers coming to our area as well. Some are single and others have families; all needing something to do after a long day’s work and on the weekends. To me, these represent great opportunities for new business ventures or the enhancement of existing ones!
Think about some of the things you travel out of the area to enjoy. Wouldn’t it be great to have similar businesses right here in our communities? We can do this. It’s an opportunity for
everyone. Collectively we can make all parts of Wetzel and Tyler Counties not only awesome places to live and work, but destination stops. I can see it and feel the change in the air. I hope that all of you can as well!
We have a new international business coming into the area. If you haven’t read the article in this week’s Wetzel Chronicle on the company TCL, the international company from India, I urge you to read the article. It goes into great depth on explaining the nature of the business. It will be located on the Covestro site. The Regional Economic Development Partnership, one of our most dedicated partners, has spent ten years helping this project come toruition. With the addition of yet another new business in this area there will be jobs for local workers and demand for goods and services. So, get ready everyone,our towns are growing and there’s opportunity for every business owner to grow as well!
