Dear Readers,
The news around the world seems to be changing at a dizzying pace these days. From interest rate volatility to political strife, it may seem that this period is a tough one, if not unpredictable. Interestingly, however, despite world events that have left many of us uncertain about the future, organizations are performing very well, and cities and their valued airports are ramping up for continued success as they expand their operations.
We have learned that the fiscal signs are all positive as we wrap up another issue with our finger firmly on the pulse of all things business, aviation, and municipal. Against what seems as a somewhat uncertain backdrop, we have witnessed only positive things for the entities that we were fortunate to profile in our August issue.
For our August issue, we touched down at Elko Regional Airport, Four Corners Regional Airport, as well as Gary/Chicago International Airport. We had the opportunity to speak at length with all three of these dynamic Airport Directors to talk about all things aviation. With a firm navigational map in hand, each airport has produced results that signal growth on the horizon as capital outlay projects bring continued aviation success.
From aviation to civic government, we had the opportunity to profile some thriving and dynamic municipalities for our August issue. We uncovered what initiatives go into each municipality’s and county’s recipe for continued growth and success.
Business View’s pages are filled with engaging features with city officials from Coolidge, Arizona; Depew, New York; East Bay, Michigan; Fernley, Nevada; Lancaster, Ohio; Lawrence County, Pennsylvania; Pawling, New York and Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, among other fast-growing municipalities.
Turning to business growth, we also covered impressive and fast-growing companies and organizations, including Will-Burt Company, Roman Roofing, Paramont EO, NestFresh, Midwest Industrial Supply Inc., Longs Drugs, Huffmaster, Joy Inc., and Deltec Homes, among others. These companies show leadership and produce noteworthy projects to strengthen their business foothold and point their economic GPS towards further growth.
Our August issue also continues to bring you our popular school district series. We had the opportunity to sit down with school officials from several leading school districts to discuss the pivot to the changing demands of the economy and their innovative approaches to ensure students are college and career-ready while always being put first.
We spoke with Decatur County Community Schools in Indiana, Hawley Independent School District, Kaukauna Area School District, Middleton- Cross Plains Area School District, and Superior School District, among others. Providing students with hands-on educational opportunities and real-world experiences is propelling these school districts into leading roles within their communities and beyond.
As we continue to bring you sector and industry-focused features, we will keep a keen eye on current economic developments and business readiness to provide the best business view.
