EDITOR’S NOTES Dear Readers, As I headed out of my driveway this morning and felt a chill in the late fall air, there was no denying that we are a short hop and skip away from winter. Depending on where you live, for many, the first frosts have already surfaced and thoughts are turning to Christmas holidays that are not that far away. In the halls of Business View Publishing, we are laser-focused and looking ahead to the final lap of 2025, as we proudly bring to you our November issue. With pages full of in depth profiles covering municipalities and counties to leading companies, thriving airports as well as dynamic school districts, we leave no stone unturned. This issue is brimming with features that offer the best view on business news throughout North America. Setting our GPS towards everything aviation, November’s issue landed at John Murtha JohnstownCambria County Airport, Paine Field Airport, Pitt Meadows Regional Airport as well as Sandusky Regional Airport. We had the opportunity to speak at length with all four of these dynamic Airport Directors to talk about what lies ahead down the flight path. Implementing initiatives that put the passenger first, each airport is capitalizing on its strengths and reaching higher heights as we fly towards 2026. Airports are not the only ones taking off, municipalities throughout North America are also flying high. Capturing economic and housing growth, each municipality is putting its residents first. Implementing master plans that range from downtown street scapes to offering a choice of amenities and new business options, every municipality is embracing growth ahead.
