EDITOR’S NOTES February may bring a visit from cupid as Valentines is marked mid way through the month on the calendar. While love may be in the air, an air of optimism can also be felt across many sectors including the business, real estate, aviation and civic sector as we embrace the second month of a new year. As the month unfolds we consider it a privilege as always to bring our avid business readers an inside view into how municipalities, organizations of different sizes, and the many bustling airports throughout the continent are fairing. For February’s issue we touched down at several leading regional US-based airports. We bring you profiles of Sac City and its thriving Sac City Regional Airport as well as McAlester Regional Airport. Discussions centered around each of their airport master plans, meeting continued aviation growth and the vital economic link to the community and region these air hubs serve. We also had the opportunity to cover a diverse group of municipalities for February’s issue. As our in-depth profiles uncovered, it is clear that dedicated master plans as well as bold initiatives and critical infrastructure upgrades top the agenda. It is clear that civic and county officials continue to put their residents first. Business View’s pages are filled with fascinating features with city officials from Craig, Colorado, Jasper, Indiana, Miami Shores, Florida, Millsboro, Delaware, Montrose, Colorado and Plain City, Ohio among other fast-growing municipalities. Every one of the municipalities that we covered this month show continued growth numbers, residential projects to address the ongoing housing shortage as well as thought out master plans that address everything on their residents’ wish list. For our February issue, we also caught up with a cross-section of dynamic and fast-growing companies and organizations including Christensen Insurance Group, ACMS Northwest, C&M Home Builders, Winnipeg Police Credit Union and Focal Point Home Builders among others. As we make our way through the first fiscal quarter of 2025, all these companies show leadership and produce noteworthy projects to strengthen their business foothold and rev their economic engines towards further growth. As we bring you the very best sector and industryfocused features, we hope your new year is off to a great start as we continue to provide you with the best business view.
